- On a clean, lightly floured surface, divide the dough into six equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.
- Take each dough ball and roll it into a thick rope, about 7-8 inches long. Bring the ends together to form a circular bagel, pinching to seal.
- Allow the bagels to rest for about 5-10 minutes.

- Place the bagels in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
