I have been making this bread machine bagel recipe for years, at least 12 years in fact. We love them, and they are super easy to make using your bread machine.

Add yeast and sugar to your bread machine pan, and add the warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes before adding anything else to give the yeast time to activate.
Add in the remaining ingredients. Saving the salt for last. Salt can kill your yeast leaving you with flat dough, and no one wants flat bagels when you can have fluffy bagels.
Cut into 12 equal pieces. Shape into bagels, I do this by pressing my thumbs into the center of the pieces and stretching them into exaggerated bagels.
