Homemade Bagels Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 cups bread flour (plus extra for kneading)
  • 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water (110°F)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 quarts water (for boiling)
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for boiling water)
  • Toppings (optional): sesame seeds, poppy seeds, coarse salt, everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast:
    • Combine warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make Dough:
    • In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add yeast mixture and oil, stirring until a dough forms.
  3. Knead Dough:
    • Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Proof the Dough:
    • Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. Shape Bagels:
    • Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, poke a hole in the center with your finger, and stretch it into a bagel shape.
  6. Second Rise:
    • Place shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rest for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Boil Bagels:
    • Bring water to a gentle boil in a large pot. Add honey for flavor (optional). Boil bagels, a few at a time, for 1 minute per side.
  8. Add Toppings:
    • Sprinkle desired toppings on the boiled bagels while still wet.
  9. Bake Bagels:
    • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place boiled bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

  1. Classic Fillings:
    • Cream cheese and smoked salmon with capers and dill.
    • Egg salad, avocado, and lettuce.
  2. Sweet Variations:
    • Peanut butter and banana.
    • Cream cheese and a drizzle of honey with fresh berries.
  3. Savory Options:
