Ingredients

1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon brown sugar
4 cups bread flour
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
1 tablespoon instant yeast

Time Needed

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Instructions

Combine the warm water and yeast in a large mixing bowl.
Mix in the bread flour, brown sugar, and salt until a dough forms in the bowl.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and shape it into a ball.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour to rise.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius).
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape 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.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
To the water, add the everything bagel seasoning.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the bagels float to the surface.
With a slotted spoon, transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the beaten egg on top of each bagel and top with more everything bagel seasoning.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the bagels from the oven and set aside for a few minutes to cool before serving.
