Wholemeal sourdough bagels

Bagels..., I love both eating and making them, but I've been thinking 'agh, I can't be bothered to do that extra step of boiling water and cooking the bagels in it before baking...'

Yes, I was lazy.

However, my hungry brain won against my lazy bum.

I made bagels. Not only did I do so, I made five different types..., I can be motivated, sometimes....

Ingredients:

Wholemeal starter 125g

White strong flour 250g

Salt 4g

Water 145g

Oil 1tsp

***

Honey and water

I used my strawberry wholemeal sourdough for this recipe. It has such a nice beer-like smell that even with a simplest plain bagel you can get the sweet moreish flavour.

As I was shaping I added different fillings to each one of them.
(Here is how I shape bagels.)

* Plain

*Chocolate

*Blueberry

*Cinnamon & raisin

*Rosemary & pink rock salt

My favourite was Cinnamon & Raisin. ;D What's your favourite?
