Recipe

• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 ¼ cups of warm soy milk
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• 2 Tablespoons of honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons Ener-G egg replacer or flax meal
• 2 cups whole wheat flour +1 ¾ white unbleached flour
• 2 quarts water
• Sesame or poppy seeds, optional

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the coconut oil, honey and salt.
2. Mix well and then add the egg replacer and 1 cup of the flour; beat until smooth. Stir in more flour combining the whole wheat and white to form soft dough.
3. Turn into a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning over to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
4. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 12 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Push thumb through the center and form a 1 inch hole. Stretch and shape dough to form an even ring. Place on a floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
5. In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Drop bagels, one at a time, into the boiling water. Cook for 1 minute; turn and cook 1 minute longer. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well on paper towels.
6. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired. Place in 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. For best results place 15 minutes on bottom rack, in the oven, and 10 on top. Remove from baking sheets and place in wire racks to cool.
