Pumpernickel Bagels - A Delicious Twist on a Classic Breakfast Favorite
Pumpernickel Bagels are a unique and flavorful twist on the classic breakfast favorite. These bagels are made with a combination of rye flour, whole wheat flour, and molasses, giving them a rich, earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with cream cheese or smoked salmon.
To make Pumpernickel Bagels, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup rye flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
To begin, combine the rye flour, whole wheat flour, bread flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the molasses and warm water, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, and shape each piece into a ball. Use your thumb to poke a hole in the center of each ball, and stretch the dough to form a bagel shape. Place the bagels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and let them rise for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°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.
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 slicing and serving.
Pumpernickel Bagels are a delicious and hearty breakfast option that will keep you full and satisfied all morning long. They have a chewy texture and a rich, nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or your favorite breakfast sandwich toppings.
