Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add bread flour and salt. Mix on low speed until a rough dough forms.
- Increase the speed to medium and knead for about 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a large bowl with nonstick spray or oil.
- Place the dough inside, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 60-90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Poke a hole in the center with your finger and gently stretch it to create a bagel shape.
- Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes.
- In a large pot, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add honey and baking soda. Boil each bagel for 45 seconds per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Brush each bagel with egg wash. Add toppings as desired.
- Everyone Bagel Seasoning: Sprinkle generously over each bagel
- Cheddar: Top with shredded Asiago and Cheddar cheese before baking
- No Cheddar: Add thinly sliced jalapeños and shredded cheddar on top
- Leave as is for a classic bagel.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
