These bagels are chewy and delicious right out of the oven. They're ideal for breakfast or a mid-day snack. Serve with your favourite cream cheese or just plain.

Ingredients

1 egg
1 1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp instant yeast
3 cups bread flour
1 1/4 cups warm water
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame Seeds or poppy seeds (optional)

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Mix in the warm water until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for ten minutes.
Form the dough into 8 equal parts and shape into balls.
Make a hole in the centre of each ball and stretch it to make a bagel shape.
Cover the bagels with a towel and place them on a baking sheet.
Allow for a 10-minute rest.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
A large pot of water should be brought to a boil.
Each bagel should be boiled for 1-2 minutes on each side.
To make an egg wash, whisk together the egg and water.
Brush each bagel with egg wash and, if desired, sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
