Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup pumpernickel flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for boiling water)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, pumpernickel flour, and 1 teaspoon salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, olive oil, and molasses. Mix together until a dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each into a ball and shape into bagels by poking a hole in the center and stretching gently.
  7. Boil each bagel for 1 minute per side. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Mix sesame seeds, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, dried onion flakes, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the mix generously over each bagel.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  10. Cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, allow the dough to rise in the refrigerator overnight.
  • You can customize the seed mix with your favorite toppings.
  • Bagels freeze well for up to a month; slice before freezing for easier toasting.
