Description
Delicious homemade bagels made with a sourdough starter and a variety of seasonings.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup sourdough starter
- 1 cup water (250g)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and levelled; 480g)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- assorted seasonings (everything bagel seasoning, poppy seeds, cheese, etc.)
Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine the starter, water, sugar, and salt.
- Add the flour and knead with the dough hook until a smooth, firm, non-sticky dough forms, about 6-7 minutes. Add extra flour or water as needed. Cover and let rest 10-12 hours.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a smooth, tight ball. Poke a hole in the center with your thumb and gently stretch and widen the hole to about 1 inches. Place on the baking sheet, cover, and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat oven to 425℉ and bring 6 cups of water + the honey to a boil in a medium pot. Boil each bagel for 1 minute per side. Use a slotted spoon to lift the bagels out, letting excess water drain off them. Place on the lined baking sheet.
- Brush each bagel with egg wash, then coat in your desired seasonings.
- Bake for 25-28 minutes until golden brown on top. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before eating. Enjoy!
Notes
- Resting the dough overnight enhances the flavor.
- Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences.
