Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add barley malt syrup and water. Mix on medium-low for 12-15 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
- Perform the windowpane test by stretching a piece of dough. Continue mixing if it doesn't pass.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a plate or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours.
- Line baking sheets with parchment and dust with flour. Fill a small bowl with flour.
- Cut the dough into 12 equal portions, about 115 grams each.
- Form each portion into a ball, sealing the bottom. Roll against a clean surface and flatten. Flour the bottom of each ball, then place on baking sheets.
- Cover with plastic wrap and proof for 1.5 hours or until puffed up. Refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
- Poke a hole in the center of each ball and gently stretch the opening to three inches.
- Boil water in a large pot, adding barley malt syrup. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
- Boil bagels in batches for 30-45 seconds per side. Transfer back to baking sheets. Add seasoning immediately after boiling.
- Bake the bagels for 14-18 minutes until golden brown, rotating pans once. Cool completely on wire racks.
