Ingredients

  • 250 g Flour
  • 150 ml Water
  • 2 g Salt
  • 16 g Sugar
  • 12 g Yeast
  • 6 g Oil
  • 20 g Egg
  • 1 g Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, mix yeast with 1 tsp sugar and 50 ml warm water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until the yeast starts to foam.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add the activated yeast, remaining water, and oil. Knead into a smooth, elastic dough for 8-10 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add a little flour.
  3. 3
    Cover the dough with a clean towel and leave for 1 hour in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  4. 4
    Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Shape each part into a ball. Poke a hole in the center of each ball and widen it to create a ring 4-5 cm in diameter.
  5. 5
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil and lightly salt it. Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side. This gives them their characteristic dense texture. Place on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. 6
    Bake in a preheated 200C oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  7. 7
    Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a rack.
