US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
In a small saucepan place the water, sugar, oil and salt. Heat on medium-high heat
Pour the Matzo Meal in a bowl
When the water mixture starts boiling, quickly pour it on the bowl that contains the matzo meal
Stir with a wooden until combined. Dough will be dry. Let it cool for about 5 minutes
Add the eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until you achieve a sticky dough
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
With damp hands, make little balls (about the size of a ping pong ball) and place on the cookie sheet
Using your thumbs or the back of a wooden spoon, make an indentation in the center of each ball. Careful not to cut all the way through the bottom
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes
Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks and the sugar with a fork
When the 30 minutes are up, remove the sheet pan from the oven and "paint" a little egg yolk all over the tops of the bagels. Sprinkle with sesame seeds
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes more or until browned
Enjoy!

Notes

The dough will look dry before adding the eggs. This is normal.
Use damp hands when shaping the dough to prevent sticking.
Be careful not to press all the way through when creating the center indentation.
These Passover Bagels freeze beautifully. Wrap tightly and thaw at room temperature before serving.
Gluten-free matzo meal can be substituted if needed.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
