Homemade Bagels- recipe below 👇🏼
-1 1/2 cups warm water
-2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
-1 tablespoon sugar
•Stir and let sit for 5 minutes or until there’s a foamy layer at the top
-540 grams bread flour
-2 teaspoons salt
•Mix together well
•Add yeast mixture to flour
•15 big stirs
•10 claudettes (scoop and punch with knuckles)
*if dough is shaggy, let sit for 10 minutes
•Dump mixture on a clean flat surface
•Mix on level 4 for 5 minutes or 10 minutes of hand kneading (I hand knead everything)
•Roll dough into ball and rub some olive oil on it, put dough ball in a large bowl, cover and let sit until it doubles in size
•Cut dough into 8-9 bagels
•Form into balls, poke thumbs through the middle and mold into a bagel
•Cover with a towel and let sit for 20 minutes
•Bring 12 cups of water with a tablespoon of sugar to a boil (make sure water is deep enough for bagels to float while boiling them)
•Boil bagels for 1 minute on each side
•Give bagels an egg wash then add toppings like cheese, salt, everything seasoning, cinnamon sugar, etc.
•Bake at 425° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown
Let the bagels cool completely before storing- I found that storing them in a brown paper bag and placing them in an air tight container works great!
They are delicious fresh out of the oven.. enjoy ☺️

Making homemade bagels is a rewarding experience that allows you to customize flavors, toppings, and bagel types. Once you master the basic recipe, you can experiment with different inclusions such as herbs, spices, or even fruits like blueberries. To ensure the best texture, knead your dough well and allow it to rise properly. A crucial step is the boiling process, which gives bagels their unique chewy crust. Remember to adjust your baking time depending on your oven for that perfect golden brown finish. Additionally, explore various toppings beyond traditional sesame or poppy seeds; try everything seasoning, cheese, or even cinnamon sugar for a sweet twist. Storing your homemade bagels is straightforward, but for best results, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. For those who love the adventure of homemade baking, this bagel recipe is just the beginning of flavorful possibilities!
