Ingredients

• 3 1/2 c bread flour = 476
• 1 1/2 c warm water = 355
• 2 t salt
• 2 t yeast
• 2 T sugar

Instructions

Add one cup of flour to bread bowl, add yeast and mix. Add warm water. Cover and let sit for about 10 minutes.

After the batter has puffed up, add flour, salt, and sugar. Knead dough with dough hook or by hand (will take some time).

Cover and let sit about 2 hours. Remove to working surface. Divide into 8 pieces — create balls (tucking seam under and roll on surface to remove any seams). Put on greased pan and let sit (covered) for about 15 minutes.

Get water boiling in high-sided pan or pasta pan.

Slightly flatten ball and create hole in the middle. Repeat for all and then place in simmering water (just under rolling boil) for 1 minute. Flip and boil 1 minute on the other side.

Remove and let set for a minute or two. Brush with egg wash (egg and water). Top with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, course salt or whatever you like for toppings.

Bake in over at 200-degrees Celsius (or 392-degrees Fahrenheit) for 20 minutes — let cool — enjoy
