Ingredients (makes 6 bagels):

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeños
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp olive oil

To make the dough, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add the diced jalapeños and knead for an additional minute.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Use your finger to poke a hole in the center of each ball, and stretch the hole until it is about 2 inches in diameter. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a clean towel, and let them rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and carefully drop the bagels into the water. Boil for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove them from the water and place them back on the baking sheet. Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the bagels.
Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Jalapeño Corn Bagels are perfect for breakfast or brunch. They have a slightly sweet and spicy flavor, with a crunchy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Serve them with cream cheese, butter, or your favorite breakfast sandwich toppings.
