Preheat the oven to 450?F. Make the water bath by combining 2 quarts of water with baking soda and brown sugar in a large pot. Bring to a boil and prepare your dough.

To a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt and whisk to combine.

Add the tofu and start to mix everything together with a spatula. Once a rough dough forms, mix the dough together with clean hands.

Transfer the dough to a well-floured surface and knead until it is nice and smooth.

Cut the dough evenly into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a round, smooth dough ball.

Lightly flatten each dough ball and poke a hole through the center with your finger. Carefully pull the hole and shape into bagel form. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Place each bagel into the pot of boiling water. They will sink at first but should rise to the top after a few seconds of cooking.

Cook the bagels for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Remove from the water and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
