HOMEMADE EVERYTHING BAGELS

Making Bagels at home from scratch is easier than you think! Recipe Below.
INGREDIENTS:
1 Tablespoon of yeast
1 1/3 cups of warm water
1/2 teaspoon of oil (for greasing the bowl)
2 teaspoons of salt
4 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
4 cups of flour
Everything Bagel Seasoning
1 egg (for egg wash-optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Sprinkle yeast over 1 1/3 cups warm water, let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly oil a large bowl and set aside.
2. Add salt and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the yeast mixture and stir. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
3. Add 2 cups of flour and turn on the mixer to the lowest setting. Once the ingredients are combined, add the remaining flour and mix some more. When it has mostly come together, turn it out on a flat surface and knead until the consistency is smooth. This can take up to ten minutes.
4. Place the dough in the oiled bowl and let rise 90 minutes.
5. Turn the dough out on a flat surface, gently knead one or two times. Add the bagel seasoning, and continue to knead until it is dispersed throughout the dough. Shape into a log and cut into 12 equal sections.
6. Roll each section into a ball, place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Let rise for 30 minutes.
7. While the dough balls are rising, prepare your water bath. Bring about 3 quarts of water to a gentle boil. Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and stir until dissolved.
8. Once the dough balls have risen, shape them into bagels.
9. Working in batches, place the bagels in the water bath. Boil for 2 minutes on the first side, gently flip and boil for an additional minute. Then remove the bagels and place them back on the baking sheet.
10. Gently brush the top of each bagel with the egg wash and add more seasoning.
11. Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Can I just let the dough finish mixing in the bowl

[@ArtFromMyTable]

Sure! Just make sure it's oiled so the dough doesn't stick. P.S. I'm finding all sorts of comments today that I missed (never got notified). So I apologize for not getting back to you sooner.
