INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 4 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
    • 🧂 1 tablespoon salt

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 💧 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/45°C)
    • 🧂 4 tablespoons white sugar

STEPS

1

Combine 1 ½ cups flour and yeast in a large bowl. Mix water, 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt together; add to dry ingredients. Beat with a mixer for half a minute at low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl clean. Beat at a higher speed for 3 minutes. Then mix in enough flour by hand to make a moderately stiff dough.

2

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

3

Cut into 12 portions and shape into smooth balls. Poke a hole in the center with your finger, and gently enlarge the hole while working the bagel into a uniform shape. Cover and let rise for 20 minutes.

4

Start a gallon of water boiling. Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and mix it around a bit. Reduce to simmering.

5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

6

When bagels have risen, put 4 or 5 bagels into the water and cook for 7 minutes, turning once. Drain.

7

Place drained bagels on a greased baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and eat hot or cold.
