Easy Homemade Bagels Recipe

bagels

Bagels are a type of bread roll that is boiled before baking. They are typically made with wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, and malt. Bagels can be plain or topped with a variety of seeds, such as poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or salt. They are often served with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon).

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
2. Add warm water and oil, and stir until a dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough, and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
6. Roll each piece of dough into a long rope, about 12 inches long.
7. Shape each rope into a bagel by joining the ends together to form a circle.
8. Place the bagels on a lightly greased baking sheet, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
10. Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, one at a time. Cook for 1 minute per side, or until the bagels are cooked through.
11. Remove the bagels from the water with a slotted spoon, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
12. Brush the bagels with egg wash, and sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
13. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
14. Let the bagels cool completely before serving.

Enjoy!
