Ingredients

• 500 grams Bread flour
• 7 grams Active dry yeast
• 300 ml Warm water
• 30 grams Honey
• 30 ml Olive oil
• 5 grams Onion powder
• 5 grams Garlic powder
• 5 grams Dried parsley
• 5 grams Baking soda
• 1 large Egg white
• 10 grams Poppy seeds
• 10 grams Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the warm water and honey until the honey is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Sprinkle the yeast over the honey water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to activate until frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 5

Mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 - 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

Form each piece into a ball, flatten slightly, and then poke a hole through the center with your thumb, stretching the hole to form a bagel shape.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Boil the bagels, a few at a time, for about 1 minute on each side, and then place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with a little water to create an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the boiled bagels with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.

Step 14

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bagels are golden brown and have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
