5. Carefully divide the dough into 8 round pieces. Lightly fold each piece into a round ball.
6. Now for the bagel magic trick. Press your thumb into the center if the dough ball to form a hole and stick your other thumb in the opposite direction as your other theme into the holes and roll the dough around your thumbs to make a larger hole. (It’s like twiddling your thumbs but this time with dough on them.)
7. After the magic placing them on the cookie sheet lined with parchment paper cover with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425ºF-220ºC and bring water to a boil.

9. Whisk one egg until the white and the yellow are completely mixed together and brush the tops of each bagel with egg wash.
10. Place your bagels in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, or until golden brown and enjoy. Well you should let them rest until slightly warm but who would we be kidding hot bagels are amazing!
