Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3.25 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 quarts Water (for boiling)
• 2 tablespoons Honey or sugar (optional for boiling water)
• 1 Egg white
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
• 0 (to taste) Bagel toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything seasoning)

Directions

Step 1

Pour 1 cup of warm water into the bread maker pan.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of salt to the water.

Step 3

Add 3.25 cups of bread flour, making sure it covers the liquid completely.

Step 4

Create a small well in the center of the flour and add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast.

Step 5

Place the bread maker pan into the machine and set it to the dough cycle. Start the cycle and let the machine mix, knead, and proof the dough (this typically takes about 1.5 hours).

Step 6

Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 7

Roll each portion into a ball, then use your thumb to create a hole in the center of each ball. Gently stretch the hole to about 1-2 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place the shaped bagels onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15-20 minutes.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 10

Meanwhile, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Optionally add 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar to the boiling water to help create a shiny crust.

Step 11

Boil the bagels, 2-3 at a time, for 1 minute on each side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the boiled bagels with the egg wash and sprinkle with your desired toppings.

Step 14

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 15

Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain, toasted, or with your favorite bagel toppings!
