Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 15 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 1 egg large egg white
- 15 grams coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
Knead the mixture into a dough, either by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl with vegetable oil, place the dough in the bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Use your finger to make a hole in the center of each ball, stretching it slightly to form a bagel shape.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side, then remove and drain on a rack.
Place the boiled bagels onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each bagel with egg white and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
