Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Bagel Shaping and Cooking

  1. 5

    Shape the Bagels

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.

  2. 6

    Boil the Bagels

    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side to give it a chewy texture.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Topping

    While the bagels are boiling, mix the grated Asiago cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sesame seeds in a bowl.

  4. 8

    Bake the Bagels

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). After boiling, place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle the Asiago topping on each bagel. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serving

  1. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Once the bagels are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
