Ingredients
water
1 1/2 cups (warm)
yeast
2 (1/4 ounce) packages (active dry)
sugar
1 1/2 ounces (granulated)
salt
1/2 ounce
whole wheat flour
3 1/4 cups
semisweet mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup
baking cocoa
1/4 cup (unsweetened)
water
2 quarts (for boiling)
egg white
1 (beaten)
Instructions
1
In a small bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it stand for 3 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-3/4 cups of whole wheat flour with salt and baking cocoa. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until just combined.
3
Gradually add the remaining flour and mini chocolate chips, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and firm.
5
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
6
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and allow them to rest for 4 minutes.
7
Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
8
Using your thumb, poke a hole through the center of each dough ball, then pull and stretch to create a bagel shape.
9
Place the shaped bagels on a cookie sheet and cover with a cloth for 10 minutes.
10
Reduce the boiling water to a simmer. Carefully drop 2 or 3 bagels at a time into the water and boil for about 45 seconds, turning them once.
11
Remove the bagels from the water, draining them well, and place them on greased baking sheets.
12
Brush the tops of the bagels with the beaten egg white for a glossy finish.
13
Bake for 35 minutes, turning the baking sheets halfway through for even browning.
14
The bagels are ready when they are golden brown and shiny. Let cool before serving.
