## Ingredients

- 1.5 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4.5 cups bread flour
- 4.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 12 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 raw egg

## Instructions

1. In a measuring cup, combine warm water (not steaming) and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes (skip if using instant yeast).
2. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the yeast mixture. Stir until foamy.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4.5 cups of bread flour (or all-purpose flour) and 2 teaspoons of salt.
4. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir 15 times.
5. Use a spatula or your knuckles to mix the dough until it forms a shaggy ball. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.
6. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes. If you are using a mixer, knead it for 5 minutes on level 4.
7. Place the kneaded dough in a bowl, drizzle with a teaspoon of olive oil and cover it with a lid. Let the dough rise in a warm place (like the oven with the oven light on) until doubled in size.
8. Divide the risen dough into 8 large or 12 small pieces and shape each into a ball. Tuck the bottom of the ball to form a round shape.
9. Make a hole in the center of each ball to shape them into bagels.
10. Place the bagels on a greased baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let rest for 20 minutes.
11. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Bring 12 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of sugar to a boil in a pot.
12. Boil the bagels for 1 minute per side using a slotted spoon.
13. Remove the bagels and place them on the greased baking sheet.
14. Prepare an egg wash (1 raw egg, scrambled), and brush it on the bagels. This helps them look nice and brown.
15. Bake the bagels at 425°F for 20-25 minutes. Flip halfway through, for the last 5 minutes, for even browning.
