The bagel-making will never stop around here! It's like a small Montreal bakery in our kitchen at least once a week, and I'm only limited by my imagination! I still have a good 10 or so flavour combos to try out on my mom, and with luck I'll gain more inspiration as the time goes on. Read more ... otherwise I'll be repeating! Ingredients:
1 cup warm water, divided |
1/4 cup warmed (1%) milk |
1 pkg active dry yeast |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 cups flour |
2 cups whole wheat flour |
1 tbsp gluten flour |
1/4 tsp salt |
1/3 cup chopped walnuts |
1/3 cup dried cherries |
1 tbsp honey (for boiling) |
Directions:
1. Pour 1/2 cup warm water into a large bowl.
2. Add the sugar and yeast and let stand 10 minutes. Add remaining water and milk, stir well.
3. Whisk together flours, gluten and salt.
4. Slowly begin beating about 1/2 the flour mixture into the proofed yeast.
5. Mix in walnuts and cherries, then remaining flour.
6. Knead for 5-10 minutes, either by mixer or by hand.
7. Place into a greased bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover and let rise 2 hours.
8. Punch down the dough, divide into 8 balls. Shape into rings, cover and rest again for 35 minutes (alternatively, place into fridge for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before proceeding).
9. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with the honey, and preheat the oven to 375F.
10. Place the bagels, two at a time, into the boiling water for 2 minutes.
11. Drain well, and place on lined baking sheets.
12. Bake for 30 minutes and cool on a rack.
