Easy Toasted Sesame Bagel Recipe
Does your family beg for bagels? Mine does too! I have an easy toasted sesame bagel recipe to appease the gang.
There are so many variations on this toasted sesame bagel recipe, but the dough recipe is tried and true and ready to bake and enjoy.
I spent a week making these daily and I will tell you that I received rave reviews!
Probably less for my effort and more for the doughy, chewy goodness that these bagels provide.

Easy Toasted Sesame Bagel Recipe
This recipe is so easy that I made them daily for one full week. I wanted to perfect the recipe AND spoil my family.
I hope you enjoy your own fresh out of the oven bagels like we do!
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 1/2 TBS granulated sugar
- 1.5 tsp fast-acting Rapid Rise yeast - use 1 tsp for high-altitude baking
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 TBS vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 TBS water
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Start by adding water to a large glass mixing bowl.
- Add yeast to water then add the sugar to the bowl, stir to combine.
- Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Add the oil, flour and salt and use your hands to combine into a dough that is tacky.
- Form the dough into a ball and let rest in the bowl a warm place with a kitchen towel placed over the top for 30 minutes.
- Fun tip! I proof (let rise) my bagel dough in front of the gas fireplace for 30 minutes.
- When dough has about doubled in size, take it out of the bowl and place on a large floured surface.
- Knead dough with flour until it's soft and smooth.
- Next, use a serrated knife to cut dough into 6 equal parts.
- Roll each of the 6 pieces into logs about 8" in length.
- Dab your fingertips with water and connect the ends of the dough log to form a ring.
- Set aside on a lightly floured surface to rise for another 30 minutes.
- When bagel rings have proofed again, fill a medium sized pot 1/3 full with water.
- Bring water to a boil AND preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Gently drop 3 bagels in at a time and boil on either side for 30 seconds.
- Pull from boiling water with a slotted spoon and let rest on paper towels to dry.
- When all bagels have had their water bath for a minute and are drying, brush each bagel with egg wash.
- Egg wash: mix one egg with one TBS water.
- Top bagels with toasted sesame seeds (or whatever topping you love).
- Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees F.
- Remove from oven, let cool, then eat! Toast or slice right open and enjoy!
