This special treat requires a bit of work, but the results are well worth it. Yields 6 bagels
8 cups Glicks Flour
1 and 3/4 tablespoons Gefen Dry Yeast
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil
2 and 1/2 cups lukewarm water, divided
a generous amount of sesame seeds
Pereg Za’atar, to taste
Gefen Olive Oil, for brushing
Place flour, yeast, and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer and mix. Add salt, oil, and half of the water and start kneading while slowly adding the rest of the water. Knead well for about 10 minutes, until you get a somewhat sticky dough.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and roll it around so it’s coated with oil. Cover and let rise for about two hours or until doubled in bulk.
Divide the dough into six- four and 1/4-ounce (120-gram) balls. Place on a lightly greased pan. Cover with a towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
Place an overturned pan in the oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes.
On a lightly greased surface, flatten each ball of dough. Cut out a one-inch (two and 1/2-centimeter) hole in the center to get a bagel. Mix the sesame seeds and za’atar in a shallow bowl.
Brush each bagel with water and dip it in the sesame mixture. Place on parchment paper. Put the parchment paper on the overturned pan. Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden.
Remove from oven and immediately brush with olive oil.
