Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until you see bubbles forming, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Add the bread flour, salt, and oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky. Alternatively, use a stand mixer for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.
  5. Once risen, punch the dough down, divide into eight pieces, and shape into bagels. Let rest for 15 minutes.
  6. Boil water in a large pot, add honey or malt syrup, and drop in each bagel. Boil for 30 seconds on each side.
  7. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake bagels for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
