Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 15 grams Granulated sugar
• 10 grams Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 20 grams Sesame seeds
• 20 grams Poppy seeds
• 20 grams Sunflower seeds
• 1 large Egg white

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a flour-dusted surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball, lightly oil a bowl, and place the dough inside, turning to coat with oil. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal parts, shaping each into a ball. Make a hole in the center with your fingers and gently stretch into a bagel shape.

Step 7

Boil each bagel for 1-2 minutes per side, then remove with a slotted spoon draining excess water.

Step 8

Prepare the seed mixture by combining sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and sunflower seeds in a shallow dish.

Step 9

Brush each boiled bagel with lightly beaten egg white, then dip and press into the seed mixture to coat generously on both sides.

Step 10

Arrange the bagels on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them apart.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
