Prepare two bowls for wet and dry ingredients.

Activate the yeast until it looks milky.

Mix the wet and dry ingredients to form dough and let it rise under a towel for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a skillet on high heat and add chopped onions, scotch bonnet pepper, and garlic; sauté until fragrant.

Add ground beef, curry powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the skillet; mix well.

If the mixture looks dry, add a little water to achieve a pasty texture.

Roll out the dough to about half an inch thick and cut into strips.

Egg wash the sides of the strips to help seal them when rolled up with the beef mixture.

Boil the bagels in water with honey for about 1 minute on each side.

Transfer boiled bagels to a baking tray and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake bagels in a preheated oven at 475°F for 15-20 minutes.
