Whole Grain Bagels
- 3 cups warm water (110-115°)
- 3 Tbsps honey
- 2 pkgs. yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 cups bread flour
In a very large bowl, mix the water, honey and yeast. Set aside for 5-10 minutes. Add the salt to half of the flour. Beat for 3 minutes.
Turn out on floured board and knead in remaining flour. Knead well for 10 minutes.
Place in a greased bowl and turn to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 1 hour to rise.
Bring a large pot of water and 2 Tbsps sugar to a boil. Punch down the dough and divide into 18 equal pieces. Shape each into a ball, flatten and poke a hole into each. Gently drop a few bagels into the water.
Boil for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove and drain. Repeat with the rest of the bagels.
Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake in pre-heated 400°F oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
