The ingredients for Low Cal Bagels are:

2 teaspoon yeast
3 teaspoons Splenda (or 3 packets)
1.5 cups water
1.5 cups Hodgson Mill Wheat Bran
2 cups whole wheat flour
.5 teaspoon salt

Here is how you make Low Cal Bagels:

1. Warm 0.5 cup of water to around 95 degrees (exact temp does not matter).2. Add yeast and sugar to water. Stir until well disolved. Let sit 5 minutes.3. Mix together flours, bran and salt.4. Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture. Add about half the remaining water. Stir until a nice dough is formed, adding water as needed.5. Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes. The dough will remain more sticky than most bread doughs. Use enough flour to keep it from sticking but do not expect it to be totally dry.6. Put dough into well-oiled non metallic bowl and let rise until doubled in size. This should take around 1.5 to 2 hours. 7. Punch down dough and let rest 10 minutes. Put a pot of hot water on to boil. Make sure the water is deep enough for the bagels plus some extra space. Deeper is better. Also, make sure you have something wide enough to easily get the bagels out with a slotted spoon or something.8. Separate the dough into eight pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and then stick your finger into the middle to make a hole. Widen it by twisting it around your fingers (or however you want to widen it) and place on a well oiled pan. Let rise 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.9. Poach the bagels. (This gives them the hard outside and nice chewy inside. Take a slotted spoon (or something relatively flat and wide with holes in the bottom) and drop the bagels into the boiling water. They may sink to the bottom, they may not, butlet them hang out in the water for about 30 seconds, then flip them and leave 30 more seconds, then remove and put back on the pan. Repeat for each bagel.10. Get steam in your oven. Unless you have a fancier way of doing this, you can just open the door, spray the air or the sides a few times with a plant sprayer and shut the door quickly. Do this once before you put the bagels in. Then put the bagels into the oven and spray again. Repeat once or twice more in the beginning few minutes of baking. This helps them get a nice crunchy exterior.11. Bake about 19 minutes or until golden brown on the outside. These get darker than many normal bagels so let them get a few shades darker than the average golden.12.
