INGREDIENTS:
• 464g water
• 332g active starter
• 1,112g flour

• some honey for boiling
METHOD:
1️⃣ Mix water + starter, then add maple syrup (not honey, honey will have its place just wait), sugar, flour, and salt. Mix until shaggy.

3️⃣ Knead again, reshape, return to bowl seam-side down, and bulk ferment until doubled
4️⃣ Let dough release naturally, divide into 12 pieces and shape into tight balls.
5️⃣ Cover and rest 30-60 minutes.
6️⃣ Poke a hole in each ball and gently stretch into bagels.
7️⃣ Final rise until soft and puffy.
8️⃣ Preheat oven to 425°F. Boil water + add about 50g honey. Boil bagels 30 seconds per side.
9️⃣ Place on parchment-lined sheet and bake 15–18 minutes until golden and glossy.
🔟 Cool at least 1 hour before slicing - I don’t follow this rule 🤌🏻
