Made with King Arthur bread flour (500g), active sourdough starter (100g), Saratoga spring water (255g), honey (40g), and fine sea salt (10g). This is two batches, so these measurements were doubled.

Mixed starter, water and honey into a milk like substance. Combined flour and salt. Put the liquids into a mixer bowl and slowly added the flour/salt. Gave it 5-7 minutes I mixer on medium setting to get a strong and nonsticky dough. Let it proof over night 8-12 hours.

Weighed out the dough into 115g balls. Let rest 15-20 minutes. Formed them into bagels and let them rest/proof 1.5-2 hours.

Brought 5 liters of water to a boil. Add 20g honey to boiling water. Boiled bagels 4 at a time for 1 minute per side.

Topped with seasoning, and baked for 30-35 minutes at 430°.

    Who doesn’t?! They’re delicious. Few extra ingredients and steps but wouldn’t say they’re the hardest thing. Definitely worth a try! Look great btw 😋

    Did you cook them on a cookie sheet? I saw a recipe that required a cedar plank with burlap to cook them in order to get the right texture.

  3. Excellent job! My family loves them so much that everyone gets a batch of bagels as a Christmas present.

  4. Did you let it proof over night in the fridge or on the counter? Going to try it.
