Method

  1. Place all the ingredients into the bread machine and prepare the dough.

  2. Once the kneading is complete (before the first rising), remove the dough from the machine and divide it into 6 to 7 portions.

  3. Roll each portion of dough into a ball and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Make sure the dough does not rise in the bread machine.

  4. With the seams facing up, punch out any air from the dough and roll it into a cylinder shape.

  5. Using a rolling pin, flatten the two ends of the dough which should be about 25cm long.

  6. Connect the two ends of the dough to form a ring shape, ensuring that the seams are well secured. Place each ring on a separate piece of parchment paper.

  7. Allow the dough to rise for 40 to 50 minutes until it is about 80% risen.

  8. In a separate bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of sugar with 200ml of water.

  9. Boil both sides of each bagel in hot water for 30 seconds each. This step is known as kettle boiling. Refer to the Helpful Hints section for more information on kettle boiling.

  10. Preheat the oven to 230?, then lower the temperature to 210? once the dough is inside. Bake the bagels for 12 to 13 minutes.
