Ingredients
| 1 tablespoon | active dry yeast |
| 1-1/4 cups (300 ml) | warm water (43-46°C / 110-115°F) |
| 3 tablespoons (45 ml) | canola oil |
| 3 tablespoons (38 g) | sugar |
| 3 Tbsp (60 g) + 1/4 cup (85 g) | honey, divided (3 Tbsp for dough + 1/4 cup for boiling) |
| 1 teaspoon | brown sugar |
| 1-1/2 teaspoons | salt |
| 1 | large egg, room temperature |
| 4 to 5 cups (500-625 g) | bread flour |
| 1 tablespoon | dried minced onion |
| 1 tablespoon | sesame seeds |
| 1 tablespoon | poppy seeds |
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add the oil, sugar, 3 tablespoons honey, brown sugar, salt and egg; mix well. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.
- Turn onto a floured surface and knead until a smooth, firm dough forms, 8-10 minutes. Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Punch the dough down and shape into 12 balls. Push your thumb through the centers to form a 4 cm (1-1/2 inch) hole, then stretch and shape into an even ring. Place on a floured surface, cover and let rest 10 minutes; flatten the bagels slightly.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring 8 cups (about 2 L) water and the remaining 1/4 cup honey to a boil. Drop in the bagels one at a time. Cook 45 seconds, turn and cook 45 seconds longer. Remove with a slotted spoon, drain, and sprinkle with minced onion, sesame seeds and poppy seeds.
- Place the bagels 5 cm (2 inches) apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 12 minutes. Turn and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.
