- Poke a hole through the center of each ball, stretching the hole with your fingers until about 2 inches wide. Let bagels rest for a few minutes while preparing the water bath. Preheat oven to 425F.
- Prepare water bath by heating water and sugar in a large pot. Bring water to a boil over high heat, then turn down to medium-high.
- Place bagels in the water bath, 2-4 at a time. Cook the bagels for one minute, flip, and cook for one more minute. Remove the bagels from the water and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
