- Prepare the Yeast Mixture: Dissolve the yeast in warm water, allowing it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Make the Dough: Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the frothy yeast mixture to the flour, mixing and kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Bagels: Divide the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, then connect the ends to form a circle.
- Boil the Bagels: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop the bagels in, one at a time, and boil for about a minute on each side. The bagels will float to the top and puff up slightly.
- Bake the Bagels: After boiling, place them on a baking sheet, add toppings if desired, and bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
