With dough hook attachment knead the dough for 6-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel, let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.

When the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured countertop. Divide into 6 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Dig your thumbs into the center to create a hole and stretch the dough outward to create an oval ring.

Dip the bagels in cold water then dip coat with sesame seeds. Place the bagels on a tray lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 190C (375F).
