This easy homemade bagel recipe proves that you can make deliciously chewy bagels in your own kitchen with only a few basic ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

175 g (6 oz) warm water;
325 g (11.4 oz) flour;
1 tsp dry yeast;
12 g (0.4 oz) sugar;
1 tsp salt;
12 cups water;
2 tsp baking soda.

METHOD

To make a starter combine 4 oz flour, warm water and yeast in a bowl. Set aside to activate in a warm place for 2-3 hours.
Whisk leftover flour with salt and sugar. Pour the starter in and knead the dough for 12 minutes, until nice and smooth.
Cover the dough with plastic and leave to rest in a cool place for 20 minutes.
Cut the rested dough into 65 g (2.2 oz) pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and cover with plastic. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Pinch a hole in the middle of each ball and carefully stretch it out to form a bagel. Cover and leave in a warm place for 20-40 minutes. To check if bagels have proven right just place one in a bowl of cold water: if it floats, then it is proven right.
Cover the baking sheet with bagels with some plastic and leave them in a fridge overnight to develop flavor.
Boil 12 cups of water, add baking soda in. Boil each bagel for 30 seconds on each side, then transfer onto a baking sheet and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning mix on top.
Bake at 218C/425F for 14 minutes.
