Make your own bagels from scratch! This recipe requires basic ingredients and a bit of kneading. The dough is first risen, then shaped into bagels, boiled, and baked to perfection. A classic breakfast or snack!
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, warm water and oil.
Using a dough hook or your hands, knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth rope and form into a bagel shape by connecting the ends. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the bagels with a damp cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the bagels into the boiling water, one at a time, and boil for 30 seconds on each side.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the boiled bagels with the egg wash. Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Enjoy your homemade bagels!
