Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl with a dough hook, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add barley malt syrup and water, mixing on medium-low for 12-15 minutes until smooth dough forms.
Perform the windowpane test: stretch a small piece of dough until thin without tearing. Continue mixing until passed if needed.
Shape dough into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for 12 to 24 hours.
Line baking sheets with parchment and lightly dust with flour. Fill a shallow bowl with flour.
Remove chilled dough from the bowl and cut into 12 equal portions of about 115 grams each.
Form each portion into a ball, sealing the bottom. Roll against a clean surface to shape, slightly wetting the surface if necessary. Lightly dip the bottoms into flour and place on sheets.
Cover with plastic wrap and proof in a warm, dry place for 1.5 hours until increased in size by 50%, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
Poke holes in dough balls and gently stretch to form 3-inch openings.
Boil water in a large pot with added barley malt syrup. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
Boil bagels for 30-45 seconds per side, then transfer back to baking sheets. Add everything bagel seasoning while wet.
Bake bagels for 14-18 minutes until golden brown, rotating sheets midway. Cool completely on wire racks.

Notes

For best results, ensure your dough is chilled for at least 12 hours to enhance flavor and texture.
