- Whisk together water, yeast, oil, sugar and malt. Stir in one c. of flour, then salt, then most of remaining flour. Knead 10-12 min to make a very stiff dough. Cover and let dough rest on a board about 10 min.
- Meanwhile, line two large baking sheets with baking parchment and sprinkle generously with corn meal. Fill a large soup pot or possibly Dutch oven three quarters full with water. Add in the malt syrup and salt. Bring water to a boil. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Divide dough in 10 to 12 sections and form into 10 inch long strips. Roll the ends together to seal and make a ring. Place on a very lightly floured surface near your stove. Let bagels rest 15 to 20 min. Bagels should have a 'half proof' - they should rise halfway or possibly appear puffy.
- Prepare two more baking sheets. Line one with a kitchen towel, the other with parchment paper that has been sprinkled with cornmeal (optional).
- Reduce water to simmer and add in bagels a few at a time. Allow to come to surface and simmer thirty seconds. Turn over and cook other side about 45 seconds (total 1 1/2 min). Place on prepared, towel-lined baking sheet.
- Leave plain or possibly sprinkle on topping of choice.
- Place in oven, reduce heat to 425 F. and bake till done, about 17-22 min, turning bagels once, when almost baked. If you have a baking stone, finish bagels on the stone directly.
- Yield: 10 to 12 bagels.
- Topping variations: (Sprinkle on after bagels have been boiled and are on baking sheet)
