Steps

Ingredients

  • 297 ml water 32°C
  • 10 g yeast
  • 23 g sugar

Step 1

Combine and let bloom for 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 500 g bread flour
  • 6 g salt

Step 2

Add bread flour and salt. Mix with the yeast mixture until a shaggy dough forms.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp oil, for greasing bowl

Step 3

Knead the dough for 10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour). Punch down to deflate.

Step 4

Divide dough into N pieces. Shape into balls by under-wrapping, then swirl on an un-floured surface to seal the bottom. Place on a baking sheet, cover, and rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 220°C. Bring a pot of salty water to a boil.

Step 6

Make holes in the center of the dough balls by piercing a finger through then placing a finger in hole from either side and slowly spinning it to increase hole size.

Step 7

Boil for 1-2 minutes per side (longer boiling yields a chewier bagel).

Ingredients

  • egg wash
  • toppings (salt, sesame seeds, poppy seeds)

Step 8

Brush boiled bagels with egg wash and add desired toppings. Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Just pushing down on one side of a bagel while its boiling should flip it.
