What to eat what to eat??

Well it's busy season. Which means Adam is working late nights and trying to get into the office early. Our only real meal together during the week is breakfast and I hate when he leaves the house in a hurry and doesn't have time to sit down and eat a proper breakfast. So i've been scouring the internet to find breakfast recipes that are good on the go, and that won't leak on his suit. I finally found one that is close to our heart. The everything bagel. I think you can get some prepackaged bagels here but they are very uncommon and probably not that great. Adam and I love love this place in New York called Ess a bagel, I think on 53rd and 3rd ave. It seriously has the best everything bagels you could ever imagine. They are so good I picked up half a dozen when I was there with Emileigh and her family and took them on the plane home with me.

I ran across an everything bagel recipe while I was skimming through a website and started to read how to do it. It never even crossed my mind that I could attempt to make bagels at home. The recipe didn't seem to terribly hard so I figured well might as well try it out. First I found a whole wheat bagel recipe and separately I found a recipe for the everything seasoning to put on top, FYI. Also, these are technically honey wheat, I left out the honey because Adam likes everything salty. So here is the recipe!!

Whole Wheat Bagels

1 1/4 cup boiling water
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm water
4 cups whole wheat flour, more if needed


Instructions


Combine boiling water, honey, salt in large bowl. Cool to lukewarm. 

Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water, add to honey mixture when it has cooled. Stir in 2 cups flour and beat well to develop gluten. Add remaining flour, kneading well till smooth and elastic. Shape dough into balls. Poke a hole in the middle of each one. Cover with dry cloth, let sit 30 minutes. 

In a large kettle of salted water, boil water, boil bagels, 4 or 5 at a time, for 7 minutes, turning once with slotted spoon. Place on ungreased sheet, bake at 375 F for 30 to 35 minutes.
