Ingredients
- For the bagels:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 egg (for egg wash)
For the everything topping:
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon garlic flakes or granulated garlic
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
For the bagels:
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and stir to combine. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes foamy.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add flour as necessary to prevent sticking, but avoid adding too much.
- Let the dough rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape the bagels: Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center. Gently stretch the hole to form a bagel shape.
- Boil the bagels: Boil a large pot of water with a tablespoon of sugar. Drop the bagels into the simmering water, 2-3 at a time, and boil for 1-2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add the egg wash and topping: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Brush the bagels with beaten egg and sprinkle generously with everything topping.
- Bake the bagels: Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to use bread flour for a chewier texture.
- For mini bagels, divide the dough into 12 pieces and adjust the baking time to 15-18 minutes.
- If you prefer to make the dough ahead of time, you can refrigerate it after the first rise for up to 24 hours before shaping and boiling.
- Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
