• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/4 cups white flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Canola oil (for coating bowl)

Method

1. 1 Mix sugar, yeast, water, and flours together. Rub the inside of a bowl with oil, place the dough in the bowl, and flip to coat with oil.

5. 5 Remove bagels and dry on a towel. Return to the baking sheet. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar or salt if desired.
6. 6 Bake at 475°F for 8-12 minutes until golden brown.
