Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, 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 with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and then poke a hole through the center to form a bagel shape.
- Let the shaped bagels rest for another 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Carefully drop the bagels into the boiling water, cooking for 1 minute on each side. Remove and place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal.
- Bake the bagels for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
