In a large mixing bowl, whisk together warm water, Bellarise® Instant Dry Yeast, and Member's Mark™ Granulated Sugar. Once combined, let sit for 10 minutes or until the mixture looks foamy.
Add in Member's Mark™ Bread & Pizza Flour and Member's Mark™ Sea Salt and mix together with clean, dry hands until the dough forms. Turn the dough out on a lightly floured counter and knead the dough with your hands until it's soft and smooth.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a large greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 90 minutes. Warmer spots will result in a faster rise time (about 60 minutes).
Once the dough has doubled in size, preheat your oven to 425'F. Prep a large baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat.
Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball on an unfloured surface. Create a hole in each ball using your thumb and pointer finger, so it's bagel shaped. Place onto prepped baking sheet. Let bagels rest for 10 minutes.
While bagels rest, prepare the baking soda and honey bath. Bring a large pot of water, Arm & Hammer™ Pure Baking Soda, and Member’s Mark™ Wildflower Pure Premium Honey to a boil.
Place 3 bagels into the boiling baking soda and honey bath and leave in for one minute per side- don't leave in any longer. The bagels will puff up.
Remove each bagel with a slotted spatula and place back onto the baking sheet. Repeat with each bagel until they've all gone in the baking soda and honey bath.
Mix together egg wash mixture by whisking one egg and water. Brush on the egg mixture and sprinkle your desired toppings (Einstein Bros.™ Everything Bagel Seasoning, cheese, etc.).
Bake for 20-25 minutes on the middle rack of your oven. Let cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Once cooled, serve or keep in a sealed container at room temperature.
