- 500 cups flour
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 300 ml water

Step 2/3
- kitchen towel

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.
Step 3/3
- slotted spoon
- oven
- baking sheet
- pot (large)
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!
