Ingredients

For the Bagel Dough

  • 2 cups sourdough starter Make sure it's active and bubbly.
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 4 cups bread flour All-purpose flour can be used but bread flour is preferred for chewier texture.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Adjust quantity to taste.
  • 1/4 cup fresh herbs (like basil and oregano), chopped Feel free to use any herbs you like.
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar) You can adjust or substitute with dairy-free cheese for a vegan option.
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 package active dry yeast

For Boiling

  • Water Water for boiling A large pot of water.
  • Salt Salt for boiling water

Method

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
  • Gradually add in the flour, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, cheese, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1-2 hours.

Boiling and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel by forming a ball and pushing a hole through the center.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Boil each bagel for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the bagels and place them on a baking sheet. Optionally, sprinkle some extra herbs and cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let them cool slightly before serving.
