Preparation

Step 1

1. Stir together 1 cup of warm water, 1 tablespoon of yeast, and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.

2. Let the mixture rise for about five minutes, until foamy, and add 2 1/4 cups of the all-purpose flour and the 3/4 cup of wheat flour. Mix on low until all of the flour is incorporated.

3. On a well-floured counter, knead about 1/2 cup more all-purpose flour into the dough until it is no longer sticky. Place in a greased bowl and let rise on the counter, covered with a towel, until doubled in size.

5. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, take down to a simmer, and add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Poach each bagel for 2 minutes per side, set on paper plate to drain, then place on a baking sheet with some cornmeal on the bottom.

6. Bake at 400 degrees for around 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
