Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon Dried minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried minced onion
- 0.5 teaspoon No-salt garlic powder
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and the instant yeast. Mix together.
In a separate bowl, combine warm water (around 110°F) and honey. Stir until honey is dissolved.
Add the honey-water mixture and vegetable oil to the flour and yeast. Stir together until a sticky dough forms.
Gradually add the remaining flour, half a cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a dough forms that can be kneaded.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
Using your thumb, poke a hole in the center of each ball and gently stretch the hole to about 1-2 inches in diameter, forming a bagel shape.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together chia seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and no-salt garlic powder.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer.
Carefully drop 2-3 bagels at a time into the simmering water. Boil for 1 minute on each side.
Remove bagels from water with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and 1 tablespoon of water.
Brush the tops of each bagel with the egg white mixture and immediately sprinkle with the seed and spice mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bagels are golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
