  1. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water, then sprinkle over sugar then active dry yeast. Do not mix! Let it sit for 5-7 minutes to activate. 
  2. In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl combine bread flour and salt. Mix then add in the activated yeast mixture and 1/3 cup warm water. 
  3. Mix with dough hook or wooden soon then add another 1/3 cup warm water. Mix again and add the remaining 1/3 cup of warm water, mixing well to bring the dough together. Knead with your hands or dough hook for 5-7 minutes until a smooth dough is formed. 
  4. Grease a bowl with 1 tsp of oil then add the dough ball to the bowl and cover with a kitchen towel . Let it sit for 1-2 hours so it doubles in size.
  5. After it has doubled in size, divide into 8 dough balls. Then shape them into smooth round balls. Cover with kitchen towel to let rest for 10 minutes.

  7. Grab a bowl or plate and add about 1/4 cup sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning. 
  8. Grab each dough ball and using your thumb and index finger press down in middle to make a hole… stretch with both fingers to create a hole that is about 1 1/2 inches - 2 inches wide. 
  9. Add the bagel to the boiling baking soda water and boil for 2 minutes om each side. Remove bagel and dip directly into the sesame seeds then carefully lift and place on baking sheet.
