| 500 cups | flour |
| 1 tbsp | active dry yeast |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| 3 tbsp | sugar |
| 2 tbsp | vegetable oil |
| 300 ml | water |
| 1 tbsp | honey |
| flour (for dusting) |
Add flour to a large bowl and form a well. Add yeast, salt, vegetable oil, and water to a bowl and knead for approx. 6 min., or until dough is elastic.
Add some flour and knead the dough by hand, then cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for approx. 2 hours. Transfer rested dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead thoroughly. Divide dough into equal-sized pieces using a bench scraper.
Preheat oven to 220°C/425°F. Add honey to a large pot of simmering water. Roll each dough piece into a rope and join the ends to form a circle. You can also gently press the dough into a circle, and push a finger through the middle to make a hole. Transfer the bagels to the simmering water with a slotted spoon and let simmer for approx. 1 min. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for approx. 15 – 20 min. Enjoy with your favorite spreads!
