Combine water, honey, and yeast in a bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast activates.
Add the yeast mixture to the flour and salt, then knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 2 hours until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough, divide it into portions, and shape each into a ball.
Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Poke a small hole through the center of each ball to form the bagel shape.
Prepare a boiling water bath with baking soda and honey, then briefly boil the bagels in this mixture to develop their classic texture and flavor.
Sprinkle the bagels with sesame seeds and bake them in the oven until golden.
