Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 4 cups Bread flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a measure cup or small bowl, combine 1.25 cups of warm water (about 110°F), 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir to dissolve and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until it's frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 cups of bread flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt.
Step 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix together using a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 6
After the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate and transfer it to a work surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a tight ball.
Step 7
To shape the bagels, poke your finger through the center of each ball to form a bagel shape. Stretch it gently until the hole is about 1 inch in diameter.
Step 8
Place the shaped bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp cloth and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 10
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of sugar (this helps give the bagels a shiny crust).
Step 11
Reduce the boil to a gentle simmer and carefully drop the bagels in, a few at a time. Boil each bagel for about 1 minute on each side.
Step 12
Remove the bagels using a slotted spoon and return them to the baking sheet. Sprinkle each bagel with poppy seeds while still wet.
Step 13
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown.
Step 14
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
