Instructions

Combine the high-gluten flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in the stand mixer bowl. Add barley malt syrup and water. Mix on medium-low speed for 12-15 minutes until a stiff dough forms.
Check dough consistency with the windowpane test, mixing more if needed until the dough stretches without tearing.
Shape dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 12-24 hours.
Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper and a light dusting of flour. Fill a small bowl with flour.
Cut dough into 12 equal portions using a bench scraper, forming each portion into a ball with a smooth top.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and proof in a warm place for 1.5 hours or until increased in size by 50%. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Create a hole in the center of each dough ball and gently stretch to a three-inch opening.
Boil a large pot of water, adding barley malt syrup. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Boil bagels in batches for 30-45 seconds on each side, then transfer back to baking sheets and add everything bagel seasoning.
Bake bagels for 14-18 minutes until golden brown, rotating pans once. Allow to cool completely on wire racks.

Notes

For a chewier texture, use high-gluten flour instead of all-purpose flour.
Allowing the dough to chill overnight enhances the flavor and texture of the bagels.
Feel free to top with your favorite seasoning for added flavor.
