Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp granulated sugar divided
  • 1 tsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 200 grams sourdough discard room temp
  • 1 ¼ cup warm water 110 - 115 degrees F
  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp of water for egg wash
  • Optional toppings: everything but the bagel seasoning, poppyseed, mix in jalapeno and cheese, blueberries, etc.

Instructions

  • Combine flour, 1 tbsp sugar, instant yeast, and salt in a standard mixer with a dough hook attachment. On low speed, combine sourdough discard. Increase speed and knead for 4-5 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a greased large bowl, cover with cling wrap. Let rise on counter for 90 minutes (dough size should double).
  • Divide dough into 8-10 even pieces. Shape individual pieces into balls and then use thumb to poke in the middle and rotate dough around to make a bagel shape. Do this for all the pieces.
  • Cover bagels with a damp kitchen towel and leave on the counter for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425ºF. Bring a pot of water with 2 tbsp sugar to a boil. Place bagels in water one at a time and let boil for 30 seconds on each side. Remove and transfer to a lined baking sheet.
  • Place a sheet pan with about two cups of water in it into the preheated oven. This will help create steam and a nice crust.
  • Create egg wash and lightly brush bagels with egg wash and sprinkle desired toppings.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until desired golden brown color. Enjoy!
