Recipe: Montreal Style Bagel

Ingredients

Prepare the yeast mixture by combining warm water, dry yeast, and sugar; let it activate.
Add bread flour and salt to a stand mixer, then mix in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until soft and supple, adjusting with more flour if necessary.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover, and let it proof for 1 hour until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape each into a ball, and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Roll each dough ball into a cylinder, then shape into bagels by overlapping the ends.
Rest the formed bagels on a floured surface for 30-60 minutes, covered to prevent drying.
Preheat the oven to 450°F and prepare the honey bath by dissolving honey in simmering water.
Boil each bagel in the honey bath for 45 seconds on each side, then transfer to a topping station.
Bake the bagels for 16 minutes until golden brown, then let them rest for at least 30 minutes before serving.
