Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and honey. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  4. Rise and Rest: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

  5. Shape the Bagels: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball. Using your thumbs, poke a hole in the center and gently stretch the dough to form a bagel shape.

  6. Boil the Bagels: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the bagels, a few at a time, and boil for about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  7. Top and Bake: Brush the boiled bagels with egg wash and sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  8. Enjoy and Serve: Let the bagels cool slightly before slicing them. Serve with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or your favorite toppings.
