Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Bagels
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then poke a hole in the center to form the bagel shape. Stretch the hole to about 1-2 inches wide.
