Ingredients  

For the Dough

  • 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 1/4 tsp Dry Yeast
  • 1 1/4 cup Warm Water
  • 19 oz Bread Flour
  • 2 tsp Sea Salt

For the Poaching Water

  • 1 1/2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt

For the Toppings

  • 1 Egg White
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • Bagel Seasoning

Instructions 

  • Prepare the Dough: In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, yeast and water and let rise for 5 minutes or until bubbly. Place the flour, salt, and yeast mixture into the bowl of a mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium-low speed until dough forms around hook, 5 to 7 minutes. If the dough is very dry after 3 minutes, add 1 tablespoon water.
    1 tbsp Maple Syrup, 2 1/4 tsp Dry Yeast, 1 1/4 cup Warm Water, 19 oz Bread Flour, 2 tsp Sea Salt
  • Fermented Dough: Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and barely sticky, then shape into a ball and place in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes, until the dough has risen (it may double in size or slightly less).
  • Divide the Dough: Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease them with oil. Set them aside. Take the dough out onto a clean, unfloured work surface and split it into 8 parts. Shape each part into a ball by rolling it on the countertop using a cupped hand. While you're working on each piece in the following steps, cover the dough you're not using with plastic wrap.
  • Making Bagels Dough: Sprinkle the countertop with a few drops of water. Roll each dough ball into a rope about 9 inches long. Place one hand palm-up so that the four fingers are centered on the top of the rope. Fold each side of the dough over your fingers so that the ends overlap by about 2 inches. Holding the dough, turn your hands over and roll it on the counter to seal the ends together. Place each finished product on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the top lightly with flour to prevent the plastic wrap from sticking to the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Check the Dough: The next morning, remove the pan from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Place a bagel in a small bowl of water, making sure it floats. If it sinks, let the dough rise for another 30 minutes, or until it floats.
  • Prepare the Poaching Water: In a large pot, bring two quarts of water to a boil with the maple syrup, baking soda, and salt. Add 3 bagels (or as many as will comfortably fit in the pot) to the pot, reducing the heat if the water starts to overflow. Cook 1 minute on each side. Transfer bagel back to baking sheet and flip so smooth side up. Repeat with remaining bagels.
    1 tbsp Maple Syrup, 2 tsp Baking Soda, 1/2 tbsp Kosher Salt, 1 tbsp Water
  • Prepare the Toppings: Whisk together egg whites and water in a small bowl. Brush bagels with egg wash and sprinkle with seasonings. Alternatively, you can skip the egg wash and dip the top of the bagel directly into the seasoning, but the egg wash helps the seasoning adhere to the bagel better. Place bagels on sheet pan.
