Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the dough

In a large bowl, mix together the bread flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until a dough forms.

2
Knead the dough

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

3
Let the dough rise

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

4
Shape the bagels

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use your thumb to poke a hole through the center of each ball. Stretch the dough to form a bagel shape, about 4 inches in diameter.

5
Let the bagels rise

Place the shaped bagels on a greased baking sheet, cover with a damp towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

6
Preheat the oven and prepare the water bath

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Beat the egg in a small bowl to make an egg wash.

7
Boil and bake the bagels

Carefully place 2-3 bagels at a time into the boiling water. Boil for 1 minute on each side, then remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet. Brush the boiled bagels with the egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds.

8
Bake and serve

Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
