It Might Seem Super Intimidating To Create Bagels At Home, But It’s Not As Daunting As You Think

Making homemade bagels sounds daunting, but it is much easier to do than you think. Instead of buying store-bought bagels that are highly processed and chock full of preservatives, create your own so you can eat cleaner and healthier.
Homemade bagels also are cheaper and taste fresher, and you’ll earn the bragging rights of baking bread from scratch when others see and smell your warm, puffy bagels fresh out of the oven. Furthermore, this would be a fun project to take on over the weekend if you’ve got nothing else to do.
A TikToker named Kate (@katedavidsun) is sharing a recipe that results in chewy, delicious bagels every time. This recipe makes eight bagels. Ready to learn all about how to make bagels? Read on to find out more.
Ingredients:
-3 1/2 cups of bread flour
-1 tablespoon of salt
-1 1/4 cups of warm water
-1 tablespoon of sugar
-2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
-1 tablespoon of honey
In a large bowl, add the bread flour, salt, and sugar. If you don’t have bread flour, all-purpose flour can work, too, just not as well as bread flour. Measure out the water and yeast and mix them together. Pour the mixture in with the flour and stir until you reach a thick, doughy consistency.
Then, sprinkle some flour on a flat surface so the dough will not stick to it. Knead the dough for ten to fifteen minutes until it’s smooth. Afterward, transfer the dough back to the bowl and cover it with a dish towel. Let the dough rest for at least two hours.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, cut your dough into your desired size of bagels, then pinch the bottoms and roll it in your hand, so it seals the bottoms.
Boiling is the most important part of making bagels, which is the next step. Fill a pan with water and add honey. Bring it to a boil on the stove and let the bagels boil for thirty seconds on each side.
Sprinkle on the toppings of your choice and bake them in the oven for fifteen to twenty minutes on the middle rack. They can last four days if you store them in Tupperware!
