Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon instant yeast
• 1.5 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons flax seeds
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 8 cups water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir to form a rough dough, then knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole through the center with your finger, stretching it to form a bagel shape.

Step 6

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add the baking soda. Boil bagels in batches for about 1 minute on each side, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

In a shallow bowl, mix together the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and sunflower seeds.

Step 8

Press the top of each boiled bagel into the seed mixture to coat, then place it back on the baking sheet with the seed side up.

Step 9

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the seed-crusted bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
