1
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2
Mix Dough Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
3
Knead the Dough
Mix until a dough forms, then turn it out onto a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
4
First Rise
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 it doubles in size.

5
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Shape the Bagels
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center and stretch it to form a bagel shape.
7
Boil Bagels
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a tablespoon of sugar to the water. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove and place on the prepared baking sheet.
8
Add Toppings
While the bagels are still wet, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse sea salt on top as desired.

9
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
10
Cool
Remove the bagels from the oven, allow them to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
