In a small bowl, mix the warm water and honey until the honey is completely dissolved.
Sprinkle the yeast over the honey water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to activate until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients until a dough begins to form. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it 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 area for about 1 - 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Form each piece into a ball, flatten slightly, and then poke a hole through the center with your thumb, stretching the hole to form a bagel shape.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and add the baking soda.
Boil the bagels, a few at a time, for about 1 minute on each side, and then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with a little water to create an egg wash.
Brush the boiled bagels with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bagels are golden brown and have a hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
