In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add the bread flour and salt; mix until a dough forms.

Prepare the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Knead the Dough

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center with your finger to form a bagel shape. Stretch the hole to about 2 inches in diameter.

Shape the Bagels

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the bagels for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and let drain on a wire rack.

Boil the Bagels

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle with toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything seasoning. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Bake the Bagels

Let the bagels cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite spreads.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Make the Dough

On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use it to line your pastry molds or cut into desired shapes for tarts or other pastries.

Roll Out the Dough

If your pastry recipe requires a pre-baked crust, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the lined pastry in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.

Pre-bake (if needed)

Fill the pastry with your choice of filling (sweet or savory) and bake according to the specific recipe instructions for the filling.
