Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these bad boys:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons honey (for boiling)
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything seasoning, or sea salt
Instructions
Now, let’s break it down step-by-step:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix it up so everything is well incorporated.
- Pour in the warm water and stir until a dough forms. If it feels too sticky, add a little more flour until it’s manageable.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a floured surface, or until it’s smooth and elastic. You want that dough to have a little stretch!
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the dough is ready, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball and use your finger to poke a hole through the center, stretching it out to form a bagel shape.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add the honey. Gently place the bagels into the boiling water, a few at a time, and let them boil for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the bagels from the water and let them drain on a towel. At this point, you can sprinkle on your favorite toppings.
- Transfer the boiled bagels to a lined baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with your favorite cream cheese or spreads!
And there you have it—Grandma Sherrill’s Bagels, straight from the oven to your tummy! Your home is gonna smell so good, and trust me, everyone will be asking for the recipe. Happy baking!
