INGREDIENTS
1 Tbsp sugar plus
2 Tbsp for water
1 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt
200g sourdough discard
1 - 1 1/4 cups water (I would start with 1 cup)
DIRECTIONS
In your kitchen aid mixture combine water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes foamy.
Add flour, sourdough discard, salt, and food dye. Start mixing on low. Adjust flour and water. Add more dye to get color you want. Knead for 5-7 minutes until it forms a smooth ball.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a bowl or plastic wrap and let the dough rise for at least 90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 9-11 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a ball. Use your finger to make a hole in the center of each dough ball, then stretch the hole to be about twice the size of the ball. Let rest for 20 minutes
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then turn down the heat to a simmer.
Drop one or two bagels at a time into the simmering water. Cook the bagels for about 30-60 seconds on each side, then remove them with a slotted spoon.
If adding seasoning add right away out of water or brush with an egg white and add seasonings, if desired.
Bake for 18-22 minutes. Eat within 1-2 days or store in freezer up to 3 months.
