Bagel Ingredients

Method

Bagel Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

  3. 3

    Shape the Bagels

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then 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 and add baking soda. Boil each bagel for about 30 seconds on each side, then remove and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle the tops of the bagels with poppy seeds and sesame seeds, if desired.

  6. 6

    Bake the Bagels

    Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
