Ingredients

1/4 cup poppy seeds
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup sesame Seeds
1 1/2 cups warm water
4 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
2 teaspoons salt

Time Needed

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Instructions

Combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
Mix in the flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms in the bowl.
Knead the dough for 10 minutes on a floured surface, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp towel in a greased bowl.
Allow it to rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using parchment paper, line a baking sheet.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Poke a hole in the centre of each ball with your finger and stretch the dough to form a bagel shape.
A large pot of water should be brought to a boil.
To the boiling water, add the sesame and poppy seeds.
Boil the bagels for 1 minute on each side before transferring them to the baking sheet.
Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl.
Brush the egg wash onto each bagel and top with sesame and poppy seeds.
Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.
Before serving, let the bagels cool on a wire rack.
