Steps:
- In a food processor, add the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Pulse until incorporated.
- While running, slowly add the warm water until the dough balls up. You may not need all the warm water.
- Carefully push the dough back into the blade's path and continue to process for an additional 30 seconds or until the dough is firm and stretchy, but not sticky nor squishy.
- Gently round the dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp, warm towel for an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Add the barley malt syrup to about 6 quarts of water and bring to a boil.
- Place a tray with about 2 quarts of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 equal pieces (roughly 5 ounces (140 g) a piece if you use a scale). Cover the pieces with a damp towel.
- One at a time, form the dough into a ball, pinching the seams together at the bottom. Place the dough seam side down and-cupping your hand over the dough-apply gentle pressure, working the ball in circles until the seams on the bottom are smoothed out. Gently reshape the edges of the ball into a circle.
- Using your thumb, press down into the center of the ball to the counter. Working in a circle, carefully stretch the dough into a ring until the hole at the center is about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter.
- Place the dough rings under a damp towel and let rise for 10 minutes.
- Working in batches of two, place the bagels in the boiling water/syrup. They should float at the surface. Let them boil for 30 seconds, then flip and boil for an additional 30 seconds.
- Remove the bagels from the water/syrup and gently pat dry with a clean towel.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg. Optionally, if you want toppings, dip the egg-washed side of the bagel into the mixture of your choice.
- Place the bagels on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine 1 1/4 cup water, flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, vegetable oil, and yeast in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low speed using the dough hook until well-developed, about 8 minutes. To ensure the gluten has developed fully, cut off a walnut-sized piece of dough. Flour your fingers, and then stretch the dough: if it tears immediately, the dough needs more kneading. Fully developed dough should form a thin translucent "windowpane."
- Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel, and let rise for 2 hours.
- Punch the dough down, place it on a lightly floured work surface, and use a knife or dough scraper to divide the dough into 6 pieces (or more, for smaller bagels). Roll each piece of dough into a sausage shape about 6 inches long. Join the ends to form a circle. Repeat with the remaining dough, and let the bagels rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange small plates with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and onion flakes next to the baking sheet.
- Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add honey, if desired (see Editor's Note). Boil the bagels, three at a time, until they rise to the surface of the pot, about 1 minute per side. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Dip the tops of the wet bagels into the toppings and arrange them, seeds up, on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels begin to brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh active dry yeast. Old yeast may not be able to rise the dough properly.
- Make sure the water is warm enough. If the water is too cold, the yeast will not activate. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place. A warm place will help the dough rise quickly.
- Shape the bagels evenly. Unevenly shaped bagels will not cook evenly.
- Boil the bagels in water with baking soda. This will give the bagels their chewy texture.
- Bake the bagels until they are golden brown. Undercooked bagels will be doughy, while overcooked bagels will be hard.
- Let the bagels cool completely before slicing them. Slicing them too soon will cause them to fall apart.
Conclusion:
Homemade bagels are a delicious and satisfying treat. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make homemade bagels that are just as good as, if not better than, store-bought bagels.
