How to make Homemade Bagels

  1. Step 1

    On a clean surface, place the flour and make a well in the center. Add the eggs, sugar, sunflower oil, yeast, salt, and gradually pour in the milk.

  2. Step 2

    Mix until all ingredients are well combined. Knead for 5 minutes, giving the dough a few taps with your palms, then knead for another 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Cut pieces of dough the size of your hand, roll them out like gnocchi, about 2.5 cm in diameter and 20 cm long, and join the ends to form a ring.

  4. Step 4

    Let them rest for 15 to 30 minutes, covering the dough with a cloth.

  5. Step 5

    Place the bagels in a pot of boiling water; when they rise to the surface, remove them and place them on a cloth or paper towel to drain the water.

  6. Step 6

    Arrange them on an oiled baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

  7. Step 7

    Bake at 180 ºC until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
