Ingredients

  • 4 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cup warm water
  • 3 Tbsp. white sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp. white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp. water
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine 1 1/4 c. flour, 1 1/2 c. warm water, 2T. active dry yeast, and 3T. sugar.
  • Mix on low speed. Scrape the sides of the bowl. Mix on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add 1 T. salt and 3 more cups of flour.
  • Mix until a stiff dough is achieved. Use the dough hook (or knead by hand on a lightly floured surface) 5-8 minutes.
  • Cover and let rise for 15 minutes.
  • Divide into 12 sections. Roll each section into a ball.
  • Press thumb through the center of each ball and gently pull in all directions until a uniform ring has formed.
  • Place on a lightly floured surface, cover, and let rest for 20 minutes.
  • While dough rests, grate parmesan cheese.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 remaining 1T. sugar and stir until dissolved.
  • Reduce heat to med-low.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Boil 4 bagels at a time for 30-60 seconds on each side. Transfer each bagel to a cooling rack to drain for 15-20 seconds then transfer to a baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with non stick cooking spray.
  • Repeat until all 12 bagels have been boiled.
  • Brush each bagel with an egg wash (1 egg + 1 T water) then sprinkle liberally with cheese.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Lay a piece of foil over the pan to prevent the cheese from burning. Bake another 10 minutes. Cool on pan.
