Steps

  1. Combine the yeast, sugar and warm water together. DO NOT mix and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk together after 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add in yeast mixture and incorporate it into a rough dough by hand.
  3. Knead with stand mixer on medium speed for 10 minutes OR Knead with hands for 15 minutes until the dough becomes elastic and smooth.
  4. Place into a large oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel in a warm area and let rest for an hour.
  5. After the dough has rested, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a work surface, divide into 8 equal pieces and let it rest and rise.
  6. Preheat oven to 220 degrees Celsius, bring 2 large pots of water to boil, and prepare egg wash (egg and 1 tbsp of water whisked together).
  7. Once the dough has rested and risen, punch down the dough and turn it out lightly to a work surface, divide the dough into 9 equal parts, shape each piece by rolling into a ball and let rest.
  8. After the dough has been rested, pinch fingers through the middle of the ball and twirl to enlarge the hole (about an inch).
  9. Reduce boiling water to a simmer. Carefully place bagels in the water, do not overcrowd the pot, as bagels will expand.
