Ingredients (makes 6 bagels):

- 3 cups bread flour

- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives
- 1 1/4 cups warm water

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your water is warm, but not too hot, as this can kill the yeast.
- Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes to ensure a smooth and elastic texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for at least an hour to ensure a fluffy texture.

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, rosemary, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the olive oil, yeast, and warm water.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes.
5. Add the chopped olives and knead for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for 1 hour.
7. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
8. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape into bagels.
9. Boil the bagels in a large pot of water for 1-2 minutes on each side.
10. Place the bagels on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
