Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth.
Cover and let rest 15 minutes.
Divide dough into twelve portions.
Shape portions into smooth balls and punch a hole in the center of each with a floured finger.
Pull gently to enlarge hole, keeping uniform shape.
Cover and let rise 20 minutes.
In a stockpot, combine 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 gallon of water.

Place four bagels in simmering water and cook 7 minutes, turning once, then drain on a paper towel.
