Directions

  1. 1In a bowl, combine 750g of plain or bread flour, 3 tsp of active dried yeast, 2 tsp of white sugar, and 2 tsp of salt.
  2. 2Add 450ml of tepid water and mix well.
  3. 3Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. 4Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. 5Once doubled, degas the dough and divide it into 12 portions.
  6. 6Roll each portion into a ball and create a hole in the center; make the hole larger than you think, because it will become smaller as they rise.
  7. 7Let them rest for 30 minutes.
  8. 8Boil the bagels in water for 1-1.5 minutes on each side, and remove them; let them drain.
  9. 9Place them on a lined baking tray, brush with egg wash or milk wash and sprinkle with toppings.
  10. 10Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan-forced) for 20-25 minutes.
