Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast, and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
2
Add the flour, salt, and sesame seeds to the bowl. Mix the dough using a stand mixer or a wooden spoon until it comes together in a sticky ball.
3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8-10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and use your thumbs to create a hole in the center of each bagel. Stretch the dough out to form a bagel shape.
7
Place the bagels on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with egg wash. Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
8
While the bagels are baking, prepare the cream cheese spread by mixing the cream cheese, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill in a bowl until smooth.
9
Once the bagels are done, let them cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving with the cream cheese spread.
