Ingredients

Bagels:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 7 g package instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup sesame seeds

Ranch

  • ½ cup labneh
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Bagels

  • In a large bowl or base of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, combine the flour, warm water, 3 tablespoons olive oil, honey, instant yeast, and salt. Mix using a wooden spoon or the stand mixer until a smooth dough forms, about 8-10 minutes by hand, or 5-7 minutes using a mixer. If needed, tip it onto a floured surface to roll. It will be slightly sticky.
  • Remove from the bowl and add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bowl. Return the dough to the bowl, and cover with a clean dish towel. Let rise in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  • Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 6 even balls, slightly smaller than a baseball.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Use your index fingers to poke a hole in the center of the dough, pulling and stretching into a 9 to 10 inch oval. Place on the lined baking tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Fill a rimmed baking tray or dish with ½ to 1-inch of water. Add the sesame seeds to a separate tray or dish. Dip the shaped dough into the water, and cover with sesame seeds. Return to the lined tray. Repeat with remaining bagels.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden.

Ranch Labneh

  • Meanwhile, make the Labneh Ranch. Combine the labneh, mayonnaise, parsley, dill, chives, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Dip the bagels into the ranch.
