## Steps

1. Stir the yeast and sugar into the water. Add the oil, salt, then the flour.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface or in a mixer for 7–8 minutes, until firm and elastic. (8 min)
3. Place the dough in a clean oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel and leave to rise on the kitchen counter for 1.5 hours. (90 min)
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knock it back gently. Divide into 8 equal pieces.
5. Shape into balls and push a finger through the centre to make a hole, stretching the dough well so the hole is large enough.
6. Leave the shaped bagels to rise for 30 minutes on a sheet of baking paper. Trim the paper around each bagel. (30 min)
7. Bring a large pot of water to the boil; the water should only just simmer.
8. Lower the bagels together with the baking paper into the water, one or two at a time. Remove the baking paper from the water.
9. Let the bagels cook in the water for about 1 minute. (1 min)
10. Remove the bagels with a slotted spoon, brush with egg, sprinkle with topping and place back on the tray.
11. Once all the bagels are boiled, bake them in the oven at 200°C for about 18–20 minutes. (19 min)
12. Let the bagels cool on a wire rack.
13. Place the chicken breast in a pot of boiling vegetable stock and cook for 15 minutes, until cooked through. (15 min)
14. Fry the bacon in a pan until crispy.
15. Cut the bagels, spread with cream cheese and fill with salad, chicken and bacon.
