Homemade Everything Bagels
Homemade everything bagels made with simple ingredients and topped with a savory mix of sesame, poppy, garlic, and onion.
Ingredients
Ingredients For the Dough
- 693 grams (5 ½ cups + 4 tablespoons) bread flour
- 7 grams (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- 16 grams (1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon) sugar
- 8 grams (1 ½ teaspoons) salt
- 416 milliliters (1 ¾ cups) warm water 120–130°F (49–54°C)
Ingredients For Boiling
- 2 liters (8 cups) water
- 15 milliliters (1 tbsp) honey, barley malt syrup, or molasses
Ingredients for Topping
- 18 grams (2 tablespoons) poppy seeds
- 6 grams (1 tablespoon) coarse sea salt or flaky sea salt
- 6 grams (1 tablespoon) black sesame seeds
- 6 grams (1 tablespoon) white sesame seeds
- 6 grams (1 tablespoon) dried garlic flakes
- 6 grams (1 tablespoon) dried minced onion
Instructions
- Mix all the dry ingredients in a stand mixer bowl with a dough hook. Add the warm water, and mix on speed 1 until smooth, then knead on speed 3 for about 10 minutes until dough is firm and elastic.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles. You can do this in an oven that's turned off, but with the light on.
- Turn dough onto a clean surface. Divide into 8 portions of about 142 grams each and shape each piece into a tight ball. Cover with a damp towel and rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in honey, barley malt syrup, or molasses. In a shallow bowl, mix all the ingredients for the topping.
- Poke a hole through each dough ball and very gently stretch while spinning it to form a bagel shape. Handle lightly to avoid degassing.
- Gently drop the bagels into the simmering water, 3-4 at a time depending on the size of the pot. Boil for 1 minute per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and briefly blot bottoms on a towel (keep tops wet for toppings).
- Sprinkle with the Everything Bagel topping. Arrange on lined baking sheets and bake for 20-25 minutes at 450°F (230°C), or until golden.
- Remove from baking sheet and place them on a cooling rack.
- Slice and fill them up with your desired fillings
- Store in a sealed bag at room temperature for up to 4 days.
