Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy. If it doesn't foam, the yeast might be expired, or the water was too hot/cold. 2. **Make the Dough: ** - In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. - Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the flour. Mix until it forms a rough dough. - Knead in mixer for 8-10 mins or turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time. 3. **First Rise: ** - Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. - Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. 4. **Shape the Bagels: ** - Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. - Roll each piece into a smooth ball. To shape the bagels, poke a hole through the center of each ball with your finger, then stretch the hole out to form the bagel shape. You can also roll the dough into a rope and then pinch the ends together to form a ring. - Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. 5. **Second Rise: ** - Cover the shaped bagels with a cloth and let them rise for another 45 minutes. 6. **Boil the Bagels: ** - Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add the 2 tablespoons of sugar and, optionally, the baking soda. The sugar helps the bagels brown, and the baking soda adds to the chewy texture. - Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, 3-4 at a time. Boil each bagel for 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. 7. **Bake the Bagels: ** - Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). - If you'd like a golden, glossy finish, brush the tops of the bagels with a beaten egg wash (1 egg, beaten with a tablespoon of water). - Add your toppings of choice, grated cheese, everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or salt. - Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch. 8. **Cool and Enjoy: ** - Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Tips: - For a more traditional bagel texture, you can substitute bread flour for the all-purpose flour. -Enjoy your homemade bagels fresh out of the oven with cream cheese, butter, or any topping of your choice! -Store bagels in a freezer ziplock bag for up to 6 months. ✅ 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 👉Please contact me here: Chef Chantel📩 [email protected] ✅𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤👇 Instagram 👉https://www.instagram.com/goldencuisines TikTok 👉https://www.tiktok.com/@goldencuisines ✅𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞👉 http://www.goldencuisines.com ✅ 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐊𝐄𝐘𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒:-👉#cookingtipsandtricks #kitchentips #kitchenhacks #cookinghacks #quickrecipes #stepbystep #homemade #bagels #BeginnerCookingTips #EasyRecipes #howto #howtomake #cookingvideos #recipes #yeastbread #bakingtips #baking #bagelrecipe #kitchenaid #allpurposeflour #bagel #everythingbagel #recipetutorial #recipevideo ✅ 𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐘𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄: You are authorized to share the video link and channel, and embed this video in your website or others as long as a link back to my YouTube Channel is provided ✅ Please share with your friends and family.
