How to Make Metric Bagels When I Go Back Home

  1. In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt and oil to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  7. Poke a hole in the center of each ball using your finger. Gently stretch the hole to make the bagel shape.
  8. Place the formed bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Cover the bagels with plastic wrap and let them proof for another 30-45 minutes.
  10. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
  11. Dissolve baking soda in boiling water in a large pot. Gently drop the bagels into the boiling water, 2-3 at a time, for 1 minute per side. This creates the characteristic chewy texture.
  12. Remove the bagels from the water with a slotted spoon and place them back on the prepared baking sheet.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  14. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade bagels!
