Sour dough bagels

Sour dough bagels

 

The night before you want bagels mix together:

1 1/2 cups active starter

2 cups warm water

3 tbsp sugar

8 cups flour

1 tsp salt

I let this mix in my Bosch for 5-10 minutes. 

Place dough in a greased covered bowl over night.  

In the morning cut the dough into 16 pieces and form into buns.  Once you have formed the buns use your thumbs to make a hole in the bun.  Place on a greased pan.  Allow to rise for 30 minutes covered.  Meanwhile boil water.  

Once the bagels have risen boil for 30 seconds per side.  

Once they cool for a few minutes dip in a seasoning of choice: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, everything bagel etc. 

Bake at 425 for 20 minutes.
