Work the dough until you feel most of the salt was incorporated in the dough and move the dough to a working surface.
Step 4
Knead the dough for about 8-10 min, until it's smooth and sexy.
Step 5
Round the dough into a tight ball and it rests in a clean bowl, covered with a towel until almost double in size.

Step 6
After the dough has raised in size, punch it to take out all the air.

Divide the dough into 200 gr pieces. Each one of them, shape into a tight ball and cover with a towel to rest for about 20 min.
Step 8
Then make a hole in the center of the dough ball and start stretching it evenly to create a bagel shape.
Step 9
Dip the bagel in water, then coat it completely with sesame seeds.
