Warm 1.25 cups of water to 106°F using an instant-read thermometer.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of sugar to the warm water and stir until dissolved.

Sprinkle 7 ounces of yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

In a KitchenAid mixer bowl, combine 3.5 cups of bread flour and 1.5 teaspoons of salt.

Stir in the yeast mixture into the flour and salt mixture.

Knead the dough with the KitchenAid mixer fitted with a hook attachment for about 7 minutes.

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise for about 1 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

After rising, punch down the dough and sprinkle flour on the surface.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center and stretch it into a bagel shape.

Let the shaped bagels rest for about 10 minutes.

Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (or barley malt syrup).

Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side, using a timer to keep track.

Remove the boiled bagels and place them on a baking sheet.

Brush the bagels with an egg wash made from 1 egg mixed with water.

Sprinkle everything seasoning on top of the bagels.

Bake the bagels in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
