Your bagels look delicious... I have to ask, would you be willing to share your recipe. My brother in law just mentioned he would like homemade bagels but I have to admit I have never made them before and am a little nervous about making them.
~Whole Wheat Bagels~ 2 1/4 cup of warm water 2Tbs. honey 2 1/4 tsp. salt 5 cups of freshly milled wheat flour (hard white) 1 Tbs. gluten (optional) 2 tsp. instant yeast
Combine water, honey, and salt. Add half the flour, yeast, and gluten and mix well. Add remaining flour and knead to form a slightly stiff dough (about 8-10 minutes). Let rise until double, covering to keep dough from drying out. Divide the risen dough into 12 pieces and shape into balls and allow to rest. In a large pot bring 1 gallon of water to boil then add 1/3 cup of honey to it. working with only 6 balls at a time, take each ball and poke your thumb through the middle forming a hole, twirling each new bagel on your thumb to enlarge the hole until the hole is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Let each bagel rest about 5 minutes, then place in the boiling honey water. Cook 2-3 bagels at a time adjusting the heat so the water is simmering all the time. While these cook, prepare your next 6 balls for the water. The bagels should sink, then rise in a few seconds; if they don't, they have rested too long but are still fine. Just turn them over so that both sides get wet. After 1 minute in the water remove with a slotted spoon and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at once in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for about 35 minutes, turning bagels over at the halfway point if they haven't browned evenly. The bagels may be brushed with a mixture of 1 beaten egg and 2 Tbs. water then sprinkled with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, minced onions, or minced garlic. The egg wash makes even ungarnished bagel shiny and pretty. Have fun!
Hey there!
Welcome to Pecan Pastures.
I am a home school graduate currently living at home with my family of nine. I am an out-door girl and I love learning about nature. I recently finished an online herbalism program. I am continuing to study natural healing and herbalism on my own. Also, for the last two years, I have been teaching private piano lessons at a local music studio.
I have many different interests, but my main goal is to discover God's will for my life. I want to do whatever He has for me to accomplish.
Hope you enjoy reading my blog!;)

Those look sooo-ooo good! It's funny 'cause just today I was saying that I wanted to make some bagels! Is it the bread beckers recipe?
Yes, it is a Bread Becker recipe.
