Create Your Own Homemade Bagels: The Perfect Recipe
A Few Things We Use
Ingredients
- 1 Package Instant Yeast
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 ½ Cups Bread Flour
- 4 teaspoons Sugar
- 1 ¼ Cups Water
Instructions
- Begin by placing flour and salt in a mixing bowl and stirring them together. Then, set this mixture aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar and water and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Stir in the Yeast.
- Next, add the yeast and sugar water to the flour/salt mixture. Mix the ingredients together using a mixer's dough hook attachment. You can also mix everything by hand on a countertop, but using a mixer makes the process much easier.
- As the dough starts to come together and form a ball, sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of flour in the bowl and continue to let the dough hook stir on the lowest setting. If the dough is sticky, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time. Knead the dough on the lowest setting for 6 to 7 minutes until it becomes firm and elastic.
- Cover the dough ball in a greased bowl with a damp towel. Let it rise for 1 hour.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Cut the dough into portions.
- Form each portion into a ball and poke your finger through the center to form the bagel hole.
- Lightly stretch the dough around the hole until the hole is about an inch wide. Set aside.
- Form the rest of the bagels. After all the bagels are formed, let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add the bagels, but don’t overcrowd the pot. Work in batches and let the bagels float. Boil the bagels for 1 minute, flip them in the water, and boil the other side for 1 minute.
- Remove the bagels from the boiling water and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Immediately top the bagels with your favorite seasoning.
- Once all the bagels are boiled and topped, bake them at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.
- Finally, enjoy your freshly baked bagels with your favorite toppings!
