-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound bread flour -- divided in half
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water

I accidentally stumbled upon a method for making bagels that were
structurally and texturally superior, I decided to take advantage of
that fact, and the San Francisco-style bagel was born.
Prep: 30 min
Cook: 30 min
Total: 3:15
Combine half the flour, yeast, and warm water in the bowl of a stand
mixer. Cover and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size,
about 30 minutes.
Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the other half of the flour into the
flour-water mixture. Knead with the dough hook of the stand mixer
until it forms into a smooth, elastic ball that pulls away from the
sides, about 10 minutes.
Flour your hands, remove the dough and gently form it into a ball.
Place back in the bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place until
doubled in size, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
Divide dough into 8 equally-sized pieces, about 3 ounces each. Form
each piece into a ball and poke a hole in the center, stretching to
create an open and even-sized hole. Place on a floured surface,
sprinkle with additional flour, cover with plastic, and let rest for
30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal.
Bring 4 cups water, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 teaspoons honey to a
boil in a wide, deep pan. Working in batches, boil 2 to 3 bagels for
2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain.
Place bagels on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and
sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in the preheated oven until golden
and cooked inside, 25 to 30 minutes.
