How to Make Bagels Fresh

1. In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add salt, oil, and 3 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
6. Shape each piece into a smooth ball, then roll each ball into a 4-6 inch rope. Join the ends to form a ring.
7. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
8. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
9. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to the boiling water.
10. Carefully place 3-4 bagels at a time into the boiling water. Boil for 1 minute per side.
11. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them back on the prepared baking sheet.
12. Brush the bagels with beaten egg and sprinkle with your desired toppings (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, etc.).
13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
14. Let the bagels cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
