At Maison Co-Pain, the art of sourdough bread is lived as a passion, concerned with both authenticity and sustainability. In this guide, we invite lovers of taste and craftsmanship to discover the unique universe of the sourdough bagel, this specialty with a silky texture and deep flavor, which we have adapted to the Majorcan artisanal tradition. Taking the time to shape your own sourdough bagel is to offer yourself a privileged moment, where each step reveals the nobility of the ingredients and the rigor of the gestures inherited from craftsmanship. ## The soul of the sourdough bagel: where tradition meets innovation Unlike the classic bagel, the sourdough bagel (or natural sourdough bagel) draws its aromatic richness from slow and natural fermentation. This technique, dear to Maison Co-Pain, guarantees an authentic, complex taste and optimal preservation. Sourdough fermentation not only develops a slightly soft texture and a delicately golden crust but also brings recognized nutritional benefits by specialists in artisanal baking. Innovation lies in mastering the gesture, respecting time, and using only organic and local ingredients. This is what distinguishes each product in our [bread and pastry range](https://maisoncopain.com/viennoiseries/) and makes each Maison Co-Pain bagel a unique sensory experience. ## Choosing exceptional ingredients for an authentic bagel The first step towards a successful sourdough bagel begins with the choice of ingredients. At Maison Co-Pain, organic flour sourced from local wheat guarantees superior quality, a silky texture, and preserved nutritional richness. The sourdough, the true beating heart of the recipe, is carefully maintained to ensure aromatic complexity and digestibility. Pure water from the Balearics, unrefined sea salt, and a touch of natural malt complete this noble base. This commitment to organic agriculture and local sourcing is part of a sustained sustainability approach, valued by numerous sector reports on responsible food. It’s the perfect balance between taste excellence, health, and environmental respect, which are the pillars of Maison Co-Pain's identity. ## The artisanal method step by step: patience serving taste Making a sourdough bagel requires rigor, but also patience and attention to detail. Within our [workshop in Mallorca](https://maisoncopain.com/sobre-nosotros/), each bagel is shaped by hand according to a precise protocol inspired by the best baking traditions. 1. **Preparing the sourdough**: Wake up your sourdough by feeding it a few hours before starting. An active sourdough guarantees a good rise and a balanced flavor. 2. **Mixing and kneading**: Combine flour, water, sourdough, and salt. Gentle kneading, by hand or machine, should yield a soft and slightly elastic dough. 3. **Slow fermentation**: Let the dough rest in the fridge overnight. This step develops the aromas and the unique texture of sourdough. 4. **Shaping**: Divide the dough into equal portions, form small logs, then close them into the typical bagel rings. This manual step is essential to achieve the right density. 5. **Poaching**: Dip the bagels for a few seconds in simmering water before baking to ensure a silky and golden crust. 6. **Baking**: Bake in a well-heated oven until the crust is shiny and golden.

Sesame or poppy seeds, caramelized onions, or even chunks of aged cheese, each topping enhances the original recipe. Incorporating local ingredients, such as Majorcan olives or fine herbs from the region, allows you to sign your creations and meet the quest for authenticity of the most discerning palates. For professionals in catering and hospitality, the sourdough bagel becomes a valuable ally, enhancing a refined and committed menu.

Favoring short supply chains, choosing raw materials from organic agriculture, limiting carbon footprint through local manufacturing processes: these are commitments that make us proud and meet the expectations of consumers concerned about their impact. Organic sourcing, now at the heart of European food issues ([key figures on organic agriculture in Europe](https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/fr/web/products-eurostat-news/-/ddn-20240124-1)), is part of Maison Co-Pain's vision: to offer high-quality, healthy, and environmentally friendly products, without ever compromising on the delicious and convivial dimension of bread. Moreover, according to the National Restaurant Observatory, in 2026, 62.3% of traditional restaurants plan to increase their offer of vegetarian dishes to meet the growing demand from consumers. ## Succeeding in tasting and enhancing the moment The pleasure of the sourdough bagel does not stop at baking. Let it cool slightly, then enjoy it plain to appreciate the full aromatic spectrum offered by natural fermentation. For the more gourmet, top it with gravlax salmon, fresh cheese, or grilled vegetables and virgin olive oil from the Balearics.
