In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, cane sugar, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix the ingredients until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean tea towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and use your finger to poke a hole through the center, gently stretching the hole to about 1-2 inches wide.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the maple syrup. Lower the heat so the water comes to a simmer.
Boil each bagel for approximately 1 minute on each side, then use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the boiled bagels generously with poppy seeds.
Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade vegan poppy seed bagels!
