  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda (for boiling)
  • Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add the sourdough starter and salt to the yeast mixture, then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding the baking soda.
  6. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel by forming a ring.
  7. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove and place on a baking sheet.
  8. Sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Let cool before serving.

Notes

  • For a chewier texture, boil the bagels longer.
  • Make sure your sourdough starter is active before using.
  • Bagels can be frozen after baking for later use.
