Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sourdough starter
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
  • Toppings (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Combine your starter with warm water in a mixing bowl.
  2. Gradually add bread flour, sugar, and salt, stirring until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough gently to release the air, then divide into equal pieces.
  6. Shape each piece into a ball, poking a hole in the center for the bagel shape.
  7. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  8. Boil water and add baking soda in a pot.
  9. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side, then drain.
  10. Prepare the baking sheet by placing boiled bagels on it, brushing with egg wash and toppings.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Store leftover bagels in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
