Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups warm water about 110°F
2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey or barley malt syrup
1 egg white beaten for glaze
q.s. optional toppings sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel seasoning

Equipment

Mixing bowls
Rolling pin
Baking sheet
Pot for boiling
Parchment paper

Method

Pour the warm water into a mixing bowl and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Add the sugar and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it gets frothy.
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead it on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center and stretch it slightly.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the honey. Drop each bagel into the water for 30 seconds per side.
Transfer the boiled bagels to a baking sheet, brush with egg white, sprinkle with toppings, and bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

For extra flavor, add garlic or onion powder to the dough. Experiment with toppings for a unique twist. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze individually for up to 3 months. Avoid refrigerating bagels to prevent them from drying out.
