3. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, then leave to prove 1 hour.
4. Punch down dough to de-gas.
5. Divide dough into 8 and shape into bagels by pressing your index and thumb together until a hole forms.
6. Place on a lined sheet, then cover again with a towel and prove for a final 45 mins.

## Equipment

- lined sheet

## Tips

- Trust the process when boiling the dough, ignoring the wrinkly look, as they will look great once baked.
- Best enjoyed warm, straight out of the oven for maximum chew, but also glorious toasted for a few days.
- Bake for 20-25 mins at fan 220 C, turning them halfway through (a commenter suggests 18-20 mins max).
