Source of Recipe


From "Taste of Home Farmhouse Favorites"



List of Ingredients



• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  
• 1 ¼ cups warm water (110° to 115° F)
  
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
  
• 3 tablespoons sugar
  
• 3 tablespoons plus ¼ cup honey, divided
  
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  
• 1 large egg, room temperature
  
• 4 to 5 cups bread flour
  
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
  
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  






Instructions



1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the oil, sugar, 3 tablespoons honey, brown sugar, salt and egg; mix well. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.
   
   
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until a smooth, firm dough forms, 8 to 10 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
   
   
3. Punch dough down. Shape into 12 balls. Push thumb through centers to form a 1 ½-inch hole. Stretch and shape dough to form an even ring. Place on a floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes; flatten bagels slightly.
   
   
4. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, bring 8 cups water and remaining honey to a boil. Drop bagels, one at a time, into boiling water. Cook bagels for 45 seconds; turn and cook 45 seconds longer. Remove bagels with a slotted spoon; drain and sprinkle with minced onion, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.
   
   
5. Place the bagels 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425° F for 12 minutes. Turn and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.
