Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Mixed seeds (e.g., sesame, poppy, flax)
• 1 tablespoon Baking soda

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough starts to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda.

Step 7

Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

Shape each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center using your thumb, stretching the center to form a ring about 2 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Carefully place bagels, one or two at a time, into the boiling water. Boil each side for 1 minute then remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 10

Place boiled bagels onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Sprinkle the mixed seeds generously over the top of each bagel, pressing lightly so they adhere.

Step 12

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
