Whole Wheat Bagels
2 ¾ to 3 cups unbleached flour
2 pkgs. yeast
1 ½ cups warm water
3 tbsp organic sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup ground flax seed
In large mixer bowl combine 1 ½ cups of flour and the yeast. Combine
water, sugar and salt. Add to dry mixture. Beat at low speed for ½ minute,
scraping bowl constantly. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. By hand, stir in
whole-wheat flour, flax seed and remaining flour to make a moderately
stiff dough. Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead till smooth
(8 to 10 minutes.) Cover; let rest 15 minutes.
Cut into 12 portions; shape into smooth balls. Punch holes in centers with a
floured finger. Pull gently to enlarge holes, working each bagel into uniform
shape. Cover; let rise 20 minutes. In large pot, combine 1 gallon of water
and 1 tbsp. sugar; bring to boiling. Reduce heat to simmering; cook 4 or 5
bagels at a time for 7 minutes, turning once. Drain. Place on greased baking
sheet.
Bake at 375° F for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from baking sheet, cool.
For onion bagels, fry ½ cup onion in butter until soft and add to mixture.
Can add many different ingredients to this recipe: cinnamon, canned pumpkin,
garlic or whatever you'd like to experiment with or whatever you're in the
mood for.
