Directions

1Add 220 grams of warm water to a bowl on a food scale.
2Add 25 grams of honey to the warm water.
3Add 6 grams of instant dry yeast to the water and honey mixture.
4Add 400 grams of bread flour to a separate mixing bowl on a food scale.
5Add 12 grams of salt to the flour.
6Combine the yeast mixture with the flour and salt in the bowl.
7Knead the dough by hand for about 15 minutes until it forms a smooth ball.
8Cover the dough and let it proof for 90 minutes to 2 hours until doubled in size.
9Portion the dough into 100-gram sections, which should yield 6 bagels.
10Shape the bagels using the finger-poke method: fold all corners in, stick your thumb in the middle, and gently pull and nudge open.
11Alternatively, shape the bagels using the roll-and-wrap method: flatten the dough, pinch it down, keep rolling into a rope, wrap it around your hand, and join the ends together.
12Cover the shaped bagels and let them proof for an additional 30-45 minutes.
13Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add molasses (or barley malt syrup or baking soda).
14Carefully place 2-3 bagels into the boiling water and boil for 30 seconds per side; the bagels should float.
15Remove the boiled bagels from the water.
16Top half of the bagels with everything bagel seasoning and the other half with flaky salt.
17Bake the bagels at 450°F (232°C) for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
18Slice a bagel and enjoy your homemade creation.

Tips

Bread flour gives a chewy, New York-style bagel texture.
The dough should pass the window pane test.
Boiling the bagels is crucial for proper texture.
You can use barley malt syrup or baking soda instead of molasses for boiling.
