Ingredients

  • 250 g all-purpose flour, 8.8oz/ 2cups
  • 165 ml lukewarm water, 5.6 fl oz
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or fleur de sel
  • 3 tablespoon sesame seeds, (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix flour and salt together. Make a hole in the middle and pour in the water and olive oil, and sprinkle the dry yeast on top. Cover with a clean cloth and rest for 10mins.
  • Start kneading your dough in the bowl, then tranfer into a flour dusted surface and knead until you have an elastic smooth dough. Transfer back into the bowl, cover with the cloth and rest for 60 minutes.
  • When the dough has doubled in volume, shape into small evenly-sized balls. Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Poke each ball with your index finger to form the holes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400°F- 190°C.
  • When the water is boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. Gently drop the bagels into the water and allow them to cook until they rise up to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and arrange them on a baking tray covered with a kitchen towel, then sprinkle them with the sesame seeds.
  • Transfer the bagels on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 10-15 mins o until golden. Allow to cool slightly, then eat them straight away nice and plain, or fill them with all your favourite fillings.
