The ingredients for Homemade Soaked Grain Bagels are:

* 2 1/4 cup warm water
* 2 tsp raw sugar
* 2 1/4 tsp salt
* 5 cups flour (you can use all white, half white/half wheat, or all whole wheat)
* 1 Tbs gluten (optional, I did not use for my batch)
* 2 tsp. instant yeast
* Additional flour as needed

Here is how you make Homemade Soaked Grain Bagels:

Combine flour and water and mix until flour is covered and has absorbed the water. Let sit, covered, overnight for at least 12 hours. After flour has soaked, mix water, sugar, and yeast in a cup and let the yeast activate (bubble) for a few minutes. After bubbles have risen, pour contents over soaked flour, add salt, and mix until dough is slightly sticky. Continue to add flour (I used all-purpose because that is what I had on hand...I used whole wheat for the rest) until you have a slightly sticky dough, knead for about 10 minutes.Let dough rise until it has doubled.After the dough has risen, divide into 11-13 balls. I can usually get 13 bagels out of this recipe, but some days I only get 12. This is also the time to add any extras. After the first rise but before you divide your dough, you can mix in onions (for onion bagels), assorted seeds or nuts, cinnamon and sugar, it is up to you. I kept these bagels plain for this recipe.After you have divided your dough, take the balls and put your thumbs through the middle of the ball. You will make the bagel shape by doing this. You need to work the hole to a pretty large diameter (almost 2 inches) because the hole will shrink when they rise.Allow the bagels to rest (covered) for 20 minutes. It is best if you watch the time on this. You won?t ruin your bagels if they rest for 25 or 30 minutes, but 20 minutes is ideal. While the bagels are resting, start boiling a pot of water on the stove. Add honey or sugar (about 1/3 cup) to the water (I have no idea why you do this but every recipe I have tried recommends this step).After the bagels have rested and your water is boiling drop the bagels (one or two at a time depending on how big your pot is) into the boiling water. Boil for one minute. Let me repeat this, boil for one minute. Do not over boil. Your bagels will fall apart. You can under boil them, but do not over boil. After a minute remove from the water with a slotted spoon and place on greased cookie sheet.After the bagels are boiled you can brush them with an egg wash ( one egg white and about 3 Tbs of water) but it isn?t required. The egg wash gives the bagels that shiny look. These bagels were not brushed with egg. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 to 30 minutes. You can flip them if you think they are getting too brown on the bottom, but they won?t be as pretty. Let them cool on a rack.Serving Size: Makes 13 large bagelsNumber of Servings: 13Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JULIEFILTER.
