Ingredients
- Bread:
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1 tbsp. yeast
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 4 tbsp. honey, divided
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/2 tbsp. cinnamon
- 1 3/4 cups bread flour
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- Cornmeal, for sprinkling
- 4 1/4 quarts water
- Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. cinnamon
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
Directions
-
Activate the yeast by mixing it with the warm water and setting it aside for 10 minutes.
-
Add in 3 tbsp. of the honey, the salt, the pastry flour, and the cinnamon. Mix all the ingredients together with a dough mixer or wooden spoon. After a minute of mixing, scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again for another few minutes.
-
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
-
Add in half a cup of bread flour and start kneading. Keep adding the bread flour half a cup at a time until it is finished, while kneading the dough to distribute the flour throughout.
-
After about 7 minutes of kneading, add in the white chocolate chips and continue kneading to completely incorporate the chips into the mixture.
-
Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the dough to rest for one hour.
-
After an hour, flour a flat surface where you can place your dough. Transfer the dough from its bowl to the floured surface and punch it down.
-
Cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll them into ropes. Let the dough rest again, for 3-4 minutes.
-
Form a circle with each piece of dough, twisting the ends securely together. Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the dough circles on the sheet. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
. While the dough is resting, prepare your materials. Bring the water to a boil. When the water is boiling, add the remaining 1 tbsp. honey. Keep the water at a low boil. Preheat oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the topping ingredients (except the oil) together.
-
. After 15 minutes, place a few dough circles into the boiling water. Leave them to cook for 50 seconds on each side. When the bagels have boiled, transfer them to the baking sheet using a slotted spoon so as to drain off the water.
-
. When all the bagels have boiled, brush each one with coconut oil and sprinkle with the sugar mixture.
-
. Bake your bagels for 20 to 25 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to let them cool.
