Prepare the dough by mixing starter, water, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer. Gradually add flour until a smooth dough forms.

Cover the dough and let it ferment overnight in a warm area for 10-12 hours.

Shape bagels by dividing dough into 8 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball with a hole in the center.

Let bagels rise covered for 30-45 minutes until puffed.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Boil 6 cups of water and add honey.

Boil each bagel for 1 minute on each side, then drain them using a slotted spoon.

Transfer boiled bagels to a baking sheet, brush with egg wash and add toppings.

Bake in the oven for 25-28 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before serving.
