Whole Wheat Bagels

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1
   

   Make three wells in the whole wheat flour, add the yeast, salt, and sugar to separate wells, then mix lightly.

2. 2
   

   Pour in the warm water a little at a time, adjusting the dough's consistency, and knead by hand for about 20 minutes.

3. 3
   

   Let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until it grows about 1.5 times in size. Cover it with plastic wrap so it doesn't dry out.

4. 4
   

   Divide the dough into 100g pieces and round them, then cover and let rest for about 10 minutes.

5. 5
   

   Roll each piece into a long rope and join the ends to shape it into a bagel.

6. 6
   

   Neaten the shape so the hole in the center stays even.

7. 7
   

   Shape the remaining dough into bagels the same way.

8. 8
   

   Let the shaped bagels proof for a second rise of 30 minutes.

9. 9
   

   Heat water to just below boiling, add the bagels, and blanch for 10 seconds on each side.

10. 10
    

    Bake in the air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for about 13 minutes until golden.
