300ml tepid water 💧
2 tsp dried yeast 🌾

1.5 tsp salt 🧂
Egg/milk wash 🥚🥛

Method
Preheat the oven to 200°c. 🔥
Mix the yeast with the water and allow this to bloom for 5-10 minutes. ⏰
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sweetener & salt together. 🥣
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough has formed. Tip onto a flat surface and knead for 10 minutes. 💪
Put the dough into a lightly greased bowl, cover with cling film & allow to rise for 1-1.5 hours / until doubled in size. ⏰
Once proved, tip the dough onto your work surface and divide into 8 even pieces and shape into balls. ⭕
Cover and rest for another 10 minutes. ⏰
Using your finger and thumb, create a whole in the middle of each dough ball to create the classic shape of a bagel. 🥯
Bring a large saucepan full of water to a simmer and boil the bagels for 1-2 minutes on each side. TIP: The longer you boil the bagels, the chewier they'll be. 💦
Remove and drain on a rack or paper towel, Give each bagel an egg wash before adding your toppings. 🥚
Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown & enjoy. 😋
