Sunflower Seed Bagels

Sunflower Seed Bagels - A Delicious and Nutritious Breakfast Treat
Sunflower Seed Bagels are a perfect breakfast treat that is both delicious and nutritious. These bagels are made with a combination of whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and sunflower seeds, which give them a unique flavor and texture. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients (for 6 servings):

- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp 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 for at least 10 minutes to develop the gluten and get a chewy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour to double in size.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sunflower seeds, sugar, salt, and yeast.
2. Add the warm water and mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
6. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and shape them into bagels.
7. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together. Brush the bagels with the egg wash.
8. Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Appearance and Taste:
