Ingredients (per serving):
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
Cooking Tips:
- Use warm water to activate the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate.
- Knead the dough well to develop gluten, which will give the bagels their chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour to allow the yeast to do its job.
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, honey, salt, and yeast.
2. Add the warm water and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
6. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
7. Use your finger to poke a hole in the center of each ball and stretch the hole to make a bagel shape.
8. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest for 10-15 minutes.
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the bagels, one or two at a time.
10. Boil the bagels for 1-2 minutes on each side, then remove them with a slotted spoon and place them back on the baking sheet.
11. Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
12. Let the bagels cool on a wire rack before serving.
Appearance and Taste:
Multigrain Bagels are golden brown on the outside and have a chewy texture on the inside. The combination of whole wheat flour, rolled oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, and seeds gives them a nutty and earthy flavor, while the honey adds a touch of sweetness. These bagels are perfect for toasting and spreading with cream cheese or butter, or for making a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon.
