The Best Sourdough Bagels
The best sourdough bagels are soft, chewy, and so easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup active sourdough starter
- 1 cup water warmed
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
Instructions
- Combine warm water, honey, and sourdough starter. Mix to combine.
- Add in the dry ingredients. Knead the dough until the dough starts to come together and form a smooth ball.
- Cover and let rise for 8-10 hours at room temperature (around 70 degrees).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Shape each portion into a round ball with your hands. Take your thyme and make a hole in the center of each ball and gently spread the hole out to form a bagel shape. Place on your prepared baking sheets. Cover the pans with cling wrap or a dish towel and place in a warm place to rise for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 425 and bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Add brown sugar or honey to boiling water. Use a spatula to gently drop the bagels into the boiling water one at a time.
- Boil for about 1 minute before flipping over to the other side and boiling for another minute.
- After they have boiled, place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, you can place toppings on the top of your bagels. Simply sprinkle your desired seasonings over the top of the bagels and gently press on them so that they stick to the wet bagel. I love everything bagel seasoning, cheese, or cinnamon sugar!
- Bake the bagels for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
- Allow the bagels to cool before slicing and serving with your desired spreads!
