Gather @all-purpose flour{500%g}, @active dry yeast{7%g}, @vegetable oil{3%tbsp} and @sesame seed{80%g}.

Dissolve the yeast in 200ml warm water with a spoonful of the dough @@honey{60%ml}{3%tbsp}; let stand 5 minutes until foamy. ~{5%minutes}

Mix in the flour, @egg{1}, oil, remaining dough honey and @salt{1%tsp}; knead into a stiff, smooth dough, about 8 minutes. ~{8%minutes}

Cover and let rise until roughly doubled, about 1 hour. ~{1%hours}

Divide into 12 pieces, roll each into a rope and pinch the ends together around your fist to form a ring.

Bring a wide pot of water to a boil with the remaining honey; boil the bagels in batches, 45 seconds per side, then lift onto a towel. ~{90%seconds}

While still wet, press each bagel into a plate of sesame seeds to coat, then arrange on a baking sheet.

Bake at 230°C for 12–15 minutes, until deeply golden, almost bronzed at the edges. ~{810%seconds}
