Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal pieces and shape each piece into a bagel form.

Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Sprinkle the tops with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic powder, and onion powder as desired.

Let the bagels rest for 10 minutes before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
