Montreal-Style Bagels

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp. dried onion flakes
• 3 tbsp. sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp. poppy seeds
• ¼ c. honey
• 1¼ lb. fresh or frozen (thawed) pizza dough
• 2 tsp. Coarse Sea Salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. On large shallow plate, combine onion flakes, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds; set aside. Heat covered 6-quart saucepot filled halfway with water to boiling on high; stir in honey.
2. Meanwhile, divide dough in half; divide each half into thirds for a total of 6 pieces (each roughly the size of a tennis ball). Working with 1 piece of dough at a time, roll and stretch into 12-inch rope, then pinch ends very tightly to form ring; place on lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough. Add dough rings to boiling water.
3. Boil rings 2 minutes. With slotted spoon, remove 1 ring at a time, tapping to remove as much excess water as possible, then transfer to plate of toppings, pressing down to make toppings adhere. Transfer to lined cookie sheet, topping side up. Repeat with remaining dough rings.
4. Sprinkle rings with salt, pressing to make salt adhere. Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm, or cool completely and store in resealable plastic bag up to 2 days. Slice and toast before serving.
