Instructions

Combine high-gluten flour, Diamond Crystal salt, sugar, and instant yeast in a stand mixer bowl.
Add barley malt syrup and water; mix on medium-low for 12-15 minutes until a stiff dough forms.
Perform the windowpane test to check the dough's elasticity; mix longer if necessary.
Shape the dough into a ball, cover, and chill for 12 to 24 hours.
Line baking sheets with parchment, dust with flour, and prepare for shaping bagels.
Cut the chilled dough into 12 equal portions, approx. 115 grams each.
Form each portion into a ball, ensuring a smooth surface, and place on baking sheets.
Proof the dough in a warm area for 1.5 hours, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
Poke a hole in each ball and stretch to create a three-inch opening.
Boil water in a large pot, adding barley malt syrup; preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
Boil each bagel for 30-45 seconds per side; return to the baking sheets and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning.
Bake the bagels for 14-18 minutes until golden brown and shiny; transfer to wire racks to cool.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the dough rest longer in the fridge; it enhances the taste.
Ensure the water is at a rolling boil before adding the bagels for perfect results.
Use a bench scraper for easy handling and cutting of dough portions.
