In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the bread flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
Mix the ingredients with your hands or a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
Using your thumb, poke a hole through the center of each ball then gently stretch to form a ring, keeping the hole about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the bagel rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a damp towel, and let them rise for another 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the baking soda and barley malt syrup.
Boil the bagels in batches, 1-2 minutes per side for a chewy texture.
Remove the bagels from the water using a slotted spoon and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the tray halfway through for even baking.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
