Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg, beaten

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and yeast. Stir in warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until yeast is foamy.

Add salt to the dough and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape them into balls.

Using your thumb, poke a hole in the center of each ball and stretch it to create a bagel shape.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, 2 at a time, and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet.

Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the bagels and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
