Coating:

• turmeric - 1/2 tsp;
• natural honey - 1/2 tsp;

Preparation

1. In the flour, which is poured into a convenient mixing bowl, make a well. Pour the sweetened water with a spoon of sugar into it, add the yeast. Wait a few minutes until the fermentation reaction begins.

2. After the bubbly cap appears, add the remaining sugar and salt. Gather the dough into a ball, then start incorporating the 2 types of oil.

3. At first, the mass will separate and slide, but after about 7 minutes, the flour mixture will increasingly absorb the oil.

4. By the end of kneading, a soft velvety ball will form. It should be covered and left to rise in a warm place.

5. After an hour, the dough will swell about 3 times.

6. Using scales, divide the dough into 8 pieces (approximately 127 g each), roll them into balls.

7. Poke the ball in the middle with your thumbs and start stretching its walls outward. Try to keep the thickness uniform everywhere. Slightly elongate the bagels. Cover them with plastic wrap for proofing. At the same time, turn on the oven to 200 degrees.

8. Prepare the coating by pouring boiling water over the turmeric and honey.

9. Coat the bagels on one side with the mixture.

10. Dip the wet side into the sesame seeds.

11. Transfer the prepared bagels to a lined baking sheet.

12. Bake the bagels for 15-20 minutes.
