In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.

Pour in the warm water gradually and mix until a rough dough forms.

Knead the dough on medium speed in a stand mixer for 5 minutes or by hand for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for 30 minutes.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into eight equal pieces, rolling each into a ball and shaping into a ring.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently boil the bagels for 1 minute per side.

Place boiled bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and coarse sea salt.

Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
