How to Make Bagels 101 Using A Stand Mixer

  1. In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm water, 2 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt (or onion salt for variations), and 4 cups (500g) bread flour (add more flour as needed to achieve a slightly sticky dough).
  3. Attach the dough hook and knead on low speed for 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. For onion bagels: Add 2 tablespoons dehydrated minced onion. For Italian herb bagels: Add 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning.
  5. Lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-12 equal pieces.
  7. Shape each piece into a smooth ball, then roll each ball into a 6 inch long rope.
  8. Join the ends of the rope to form a ring, pressing the ends firmly together. Repeat for all dough pieces.
  9. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  10. Let the bagels rise for another 30 minutes.
  11. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  12. Boil the bagels: Boil 6-8 bagels at a time in a large pot of boiling water for 30 seconds per side.
  13. Remove the bagels from the boiling water and place them back on the baking sheet.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Let cool completely before adding your favorite toppings.
