Ingredients

How to make it

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup Red Fife flour and honey. Let stand for 2-3 hours.
  • In a small bowl, combine cereal and boiling water, allow to stand 2-3 hours.
  • Separately, whisk together 2 1/2 cups Red Fife flour, all purpose flour, rye flakes, gluten, salt and cinnamon.
  • Stir the soaked cereal, warm water and vanilla into the starter mixture.
  • On slow speed, add the flour mixture gradually to the mixing bowl.
  • Knead dough for 10-12 minutes, until elastic and smooth.
  • Place into an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until almost doubled, 5-7 hours.
  • Deflate the dough and shape into 8 balls. Allow to rest 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400F, line two baking sheets with parchment and bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding 1 tbsp honey.
  • Shape the dough balls into rings and, two at a time, drop into the boiling water.
  • Cook rings 1 minute on each side, then drain well and place on the prepared sheets.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, cool completely on a rack.

    I love bagels! Thanks for a health giving recipe that I can really enjoy, even if the red fife flour is difficult to come by.

    Sounds yummy to me....and healthy-but where could I get red fife flour? It isn't even in healthfood store (yet). Online search implies it's available mainly in Canada. I am saving the recipe in case I can get my hands on some. Thanks for the share.
