- 1 tablespoon (12 grams) sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (7 grams) instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons (40 milliliters) barley malt syrup
- 2 ¼ cups (530 milliliters) water

Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Mix in barley malt syrup and water until a stiff dough forms (12-15 minutes).
- Perform the windowpane test with a piece of dough; if it tears, keep mixing until it passes.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and chill for 12 to 24 hours.
- Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper and light flour dusting. Fill a shallow bowl with flour.
- Cut the chilled dough into 12 equal portions (about 115 grams each) and form into balls.
- Seal each ball by rolling it against a clean surface. Dust with flour and place on baking sheets.
- Cover with plastic wrap and proof in a warm place for 1.5 hours. Then, refrigerate for an hour.
- Make a hole in each ball's center, stretching it to a 3-inch opening.
- Boil water with barley malt syrup; preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Boil bagels for 30-45 seconds per side, then return to baking sheets and sprinkle with seasoning.
- Bake for 14-18 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the pans once. Cool on wire racks.
Notes
For best results, use high-gluten flour to achieve the desirable chewiness.
Let the bagels cool completely before slicing to maintain texture.
Experiment with different toppings for variety!
