Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon barley malt syrup or honey (for boiling water)

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
  2. Add warm water and vegetable oil; mix until a dough forms.

  9. Boil bagels in batches for 1 minute per side, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet.
  10. Bake bagels for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
  11. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle bagels with sesame or poppy seeds before baking, or serve with cream cheese and smoked salmon.
