Bagel Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bagel Dough

    In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil, then knead until smooth and elastic.

  2. 2

    Let the Dough Rise

    Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Shape the Bagels

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the dough has risen, divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.

  4. 4

    Boil the Bagels

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully drop bagels into the boiling water, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.

  5. 5

    Bake the Bagels

    Place the boiled bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the bagels in half. Layer with your choice of deli meat and cheese. Serve with mayonnaise and mustard on the side.
