For 4 Servings
Author: Chris
Total time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon malt syrup (optional)
  • Toppings of your choice (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, onion flakes, etc.)

Steps:

  1. Activate the sourdough starter: Combine the sourdough starter with warm water and honey in a bowl. Stir well and let it sit for about 1-2 hours, or until it's bubbly and doubled in size.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the activated sourdough starter with the flour, salt, sugar, and malt syrup (if using). Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2-3 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the bagels: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball, then make a hole in the center to form the bagel shape.
  6. Boil the bagels: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently add the bagels to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute per side.
  7. Add toppings: Remove the bagels from the water and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add your desired toppings.
  8. Bake the bagels: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes:

  • For a chewier bagel, let the dough rise for longer.
  • Experiment with different toppings to create your own unique bagel flavors.
  • Store leftover bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
