1. Mix the Dough — Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add flour and salt. Knead until smooth and fairly stiff. Cover and rest 5–10 minutes.
2. Divide, Color & First Rise — Divide dough into approximately 100 g portions.
3. Color each portion as follows:
- Red: knead in 1 tsp Suncore Foods® Ruby Red Radish Powder
- Orange: knead in 2 tsp turmeric + pinch Suncore Foods® Ruby Red Radish Powder + 1½ tsp Suncore Foods® Autumnal Baked Sweet Potato Yam Powder
- Yellow: knead in 1 tsp turmeric + 1½ tsp Suncore Foods® Autumnal Baked Sweet Potato Yam Powder
- Green: knead in 1½ tsp Suncore Foods® Midori Jade Matcha Powder
- Blue: combine two 100 g portions (200 g total) and knead in 3 tsp Suncore Foods® Blue Butterfly Pea Powder, then divide back into two 100 g portions
- Lilac: combine two 100 g portions (200 g total) and knead in 1 tsp Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder, then divide in half
- Purple: knead 1 tsp Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder into one half of lilac dough
4.Place each dough portion into its own lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
5. First Rise — Cover and let rise 60–90 minutes until puffy (not necessarily doubled).
6. Rainbow Lamination — Roll each colored dough portion into ropes about 16 inches long. Arrange ropes in rainbow order. Pinch ends together and twist dough away from yourself. Roll gently so strands adhere; spritz lightly if needed. Divide twisted dough into eight 100 g portions. Pull each portion along the counter to form tight dough balls while lightly blending colors. Cover and rest 10 minutes.
7. Bagel Shaping — Flatten dough ball into a small rectangle. Roll from bottom edge into a tight log. Pinch seam closed and gently roll to smooth. Roll out a fan shape on the last 2 inches of the rolled dough , on one side only. Bring the opposite end to the center of the fan and wrap over both sides to form a neat round bagel. Lightly roll to secure seal. Place onto parchment-lined tray.
8. Cold Ferment — Cover loosely and refrigerate overnight.
9. Proof Check — Remove from refrigerator and rest 20–40 minutes. Bagels are ready when slightly puffy and they float within 5–10 seconds when dropped in in a bowl of cool clean water.
11. Bake — Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 20–24 minutes until lightly golden.
12. Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.
