    Homemade Everything Bagels

    Homemade Everything Bagels. A lot easier to make than you think and so much better than store-bought!
    Prep Time: 40 minutes
    Cook Time: 30 minutes
    Rise time: 1 hour 30 minutes
    Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
    Servings: 8 bagels

    Ingredients

    Bagels

    • 1 1/2 cups warm water
    • 1 tablespoon active yeast
    • 4 cups bread flour, I sometimes do a mix of whole wheat and bread flour
    • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 quarts water
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1 egg white + 1 tablespoon water, whisked together

    Homemade Everything Seasoning

    • 1 tablespoon onion flake
    • 1 tablespoon garlic flake
    • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
    • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

    Instructions

    Bagels

    • Combine water and yeast in a small bowl and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved.
    • In a stand mixer with the hook attachment combine flour, brown sugar and salt.
    • On low slowly add the yeast mixture and increase the speed to medium and beat for 8 minutes. The dough will be stiff / dry (that is ok!)
    • Shape the dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat all the sides in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for 1 1/2 hours. The dough will look larger and puffy. (It will not quite double in size)
    • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place a wire rack over a third baking sheet. Set aside.
      Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Using your fingers poke a hole in the center of the dough about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter. Cover the bagels you are not working with with a damp towel.
    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
      Fill a large pot with water and whisk in the honey. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Drop bagels in, 2-3 at a time, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook the bagels for 1-2 minutes on each side. Using a slotted spoon place the bagels on the wire rack and brush the egg wash on each bagel, then sprinkle with the homemade everything seasoning.
    • Place the bagels onto the prepared baking sheets and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the bagels to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Homemade Everything Seasoning

    • Combine all of the seasoning in a small bowl. Set aside.
