Method
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bring a large pot of water to a boil and stir in the baking soda.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a bagel.
- Boil each bagel in the water for about 1 minute on each side.
- Remove the bagels from the water, place on a baking sheet, and sprinkle with extra Asiago cheese.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
