Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (around 110 degrees)
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 cups bread flour
Boiling
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
Everything Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 1 tablespoon coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
- Egg Wash- 1 egg white mixed with 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the dough. Activate the yeast by adding warm water, 2 tablespoons honey, and yeast to a bowl. Gently whisk together and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is activated. You will know its ready when the yeast is bubbly and foamy.
- Using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, add the proofed yeast, salt, and flour and begin to mix together on low speed. I recommend adding in the flour slowly, about a 1/2 cup at a time.
- Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated. The dough may seem slightly stiff and that's okay. Using the mixer, continue kneading the dough for about 5-6 minutes. You will know that it is kneaded enough when you poke it with your finger and it slowly bounces back.
- Lightly grease a bowl with oil (I use avocado oil- you can use whatever you have on hand) and add the dough. Let it rise for 60-90 minutes out on the counter. If you are making the dough ahead of time, add the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap before putting in the fridge.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. When the dough is ready, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. (Remember this doesn't have to be perfect!) Shape each piece into a ball, and press your finger through the center of each ball to make a hole. Place each bagel on the baking sheets and set aside while you prepare to boil them.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding in the honey and baking soda and stirring before adding the bagels. I recommend adding only a few bagels at a time so you don't overcrowd the pot. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower each bagel into the water, boiling them for 1 minute on each side.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash on top and around the sides of each bagel, then top with everything bagel seasoning, or your preferred toppings.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
- Enjoy!
