Prepare warm water and add sugar to it.

Add active dry yeast to the warm water and sugar mixture, mix well, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes in a warm spot until frothy.

In a bowl, combine bread flour and salt, then mix well.

Add the yeast water mixture to the flour and salt, and mix for 10 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until fluffy.

Prepare the everything bagel mix using fried shallots, fried garlic, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds, and salt.

Knead the risen dough slightly and divide it into 8 pieces, weighing about 112-113 grams each.

Shape each piece into a ball, using flour to prevent sticking, and place them on a greased baking tray.

Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap and let them rise for 30 minutes.

Make a hole in the center of each dough ball using two fingers to stretch it out.

Boil water in a pot and boil each bagel for 2 minutes on each side for a chewier texture, or longer if desired.

Place boiled bagels on a baking tray and prepare an egg wash by whisking together 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon of water.

Brush the egg wash on top of each bagel and sprinkle with everything bagel mix toppings.

Bake the bagels in the oven for 30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Slice the bagels in half with a serrated knife and toast them for extra crispiness.

Soften cream cheese in the microwave and mix in capers and optional everything bagel mix.

Spread the cream cheese mixture on the bagel halves, add red onion and smoked salmon, and assemble the bagel.
