Making Bagels tonight.........
Ingredients
7g sachet dried yeast 4 tbsp sugar 2 tsp salt 450g bread flour poppy, fennel and/or sesame seeds to sprinkle on top (optional)
Method
Tip the yeast and 1 tbsp sugar (this is half of the total sugar in the ingredients list - you use the other half in the boiling water later) into a large bowl, and pour over 100ml warm water. Leave for 10 mins until the mixture becomes frothy.
Pour 200ml warm water into the bowl, then stir in the salt and half the flour. Keep adding the remaining flour (you may not have to use it all) and mixing with your hands until you have a soft, but not sticky dough. Then knead for 10 mins until the dough feels smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and put in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover loosely with cling film and leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1hr.
Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 10 pieces, each about 85g. Shape each piece into a flattish ball, then take a wooden spoon and use the handle to make a hole in the middle of each ball. Slip the spoon into the hole, then twirl the bagel around the spoon to make a hole about 3cm wide. Cover the bagel loosely with cling film while you shape the remaining dough.
Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil and tip in the remaining sugar. Slip the bagels into the boiling water - no more than four at a time. Cook for 1-2 mins, turning over in the water until the bagels have puffed slightly and a skin has formed. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain away any excess water. Sprinkle over your choice of topping and place on a baking tray lined with parchment. Bake in the oven for 25 mins until browned and crisp - the bases should sound hollow when tapped. Leave to cool on a wire rack, then serve with your favourite filling.

Did 1/2 recipe for bagel so made 5. First attempt and they do look a little 'home-spun' but they're brill !! Thought it would be harder than tiz, what with putting the dough into boiling water, but the boiling water seals them so t'was dead easy. Only thing I'd change for next time is to put onto greased tray coz they stuck to the greaseproof paper this time. Hope u like the pic, they're a bit bumpy and oval, poppy seeds on top, but it's not always looks that count, it's what is inside thats important
