Ingredients

300ml Water (room temperature)
7g Dried instant yeast (1 sachet)
500g Plain flour (T55)
1 tbsp Caster sugar
1 tbsp Oil
1 ½ tsp Salt
2 litres Water (cold)
1 tbsp Sodium bicarbonate
50g Poppy or sesame seeds

Method

1 - To prepare, place the water and yeast into the Mixer bowl. Leave for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to dissolve.
2 - Continue adding the flour, sugar, oil and salt to the bowl and attach to the machine. Fit the dough hook and splash guard.
3 - Start the machine on speed 1 and mix for 10 minutes until the ingredients combine to form a flexible dough.
4 - Leave the dough in the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Place at room temperature to proof for 1 ½ hours or until doubled in size.
5 - Once proved, carefully transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Flatten the dough carefully with your wrist and then take the far edge and roll it back towards you.
6 - Gently roll the dough to make the dough longer, being careful to apply even and gentle pressure.
7 - Divide the dough into 10 even pieces. Cover them all with a tea towel to relax the dough for 10 minutes.
8 - To shape into bagels, take one piece of dough and gently mould to a ball.
9 - Insert a floured wooden spoon on your finger through the centre of the dough ball and carefully open the hole to create a ring shape.
10 - Place the dough onto a lined baking tray. Repeat this action with the remaining pieces of dough.
11 - Cover the dough with a damp tea towel and leave to rest for a further 10 minutes.
12 - Preheat oven to 220°c.
13 - Fill a medium saucepan with water and sodium bicarbonate and slowly heat to bring to a boil.
14 - Add the poppy or sesame seeds onto a plate and set aside.
15 - Carefully place the bagel dough into the boiling water and poach for 20 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to flip over to the other side and poach for another 20 seconds.
16 - Gently lift the poached bagel (removing as much excess water as possible) and dip one side into the plate of seeds.
17 - Place the bagel to baking sheet lined with parchment, seeded side up.
18 - Repeat this action with the remaining 9 bagels.
19 - Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden.
20 - Serve with your favourite spreads and toppings.
