Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add the oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough, then divide into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil each bagel for about 1 minute on each side, then place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Handy Tips
