Equipment
- 2 Baking Sheets
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups warm - not hot - water
- 4 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
- 3 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 3 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Large Egg
- ¼ cup Honey
- Toppings, optional Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything seasoning, etc.
Instructions
- Measure warm water into a glass measuring cup or bowl. Stir in yeast and sugar, allow to stand for 10 minutes – it should get very bubbly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour in yeast mixture, stir well to combine.
- Dump dough out onto a floured surface, knead until soft and elastic, 5-10 minutes. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for about 7 minutes, or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Once dough is fully kneaded, place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to rise for one hour, or until doubled in size.
- Once dough has doubled, punch it down, and divide it out into 40 equal sized portions. Roll each dough portion into a tight ball.
- Poke a finger through the middle of a dough ball, then stretch the ring of dough into a small bagel shape. Place on prepared baking sheet, repeat with remaining dough.
- Once you have all of your bagels formed, set them on a baking sheet to rise for another 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add honey to a large pot of water , bring to a to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn heat down a little, allowing water to simmer rather than boil.
- 4 or 5 at a time, drop your bagels into the simmering water, allow to cook for 20 seconds then flip each and allow to cook for 20 seconds.
- Drain well, place on a lined baking sheet.
- Whisk egg together with 1 tablespoon of water, brush over the tops and sides of each bagel. Sprinkle with any toppings you'd like to use.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until golden brown.
