Combine warm water with yeast and barley malt syrup or sugar; whisk together and let sit until foamy.

Add bread flour and salt to the yeast mixture; mix until dough comes together.

Knead the dough by hand for 6 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Divide the dough into eight equal portions, each about 4 oz (113 g).

Shape each portion into a ball and press a finger through the center to form a bagel shape.

Boil water with barley malt syrup; cook bagels for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Place boiled bagels on a baking sheet and add toppings if desired.

Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown.
