Method:

1. Mix all dough ingredients (except butter) and knead till smooth. Add in butter and continue kneading till the dough is elastic and smooth. Set aside to rise to double about an hour.

2. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions (about 110g) and shape them round, rest for 20 minutes then shape (refer to the pictures below) - roll out the dough - roll it up like a Swiss roll - flatten one of the ends - join the ends to form a circle. 

3. Let the bagels rest for 30 minutes. Bring water and sugar to a boil then lower the heat. Gently boil the bagel one by one, 30 seconds on each side. Remove the bagel with a slotted spoon. Bake at 220C for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. 

Note: Boiling the bagels before baking gives them a crave-worthy chewy texture, do not skip this step.
