These are so fun to make, and as long as you have active yeast, flour, salt and sugar you can make the dough!
I used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 bread flour to get in some additional fiber. Add anything to these bagels (cheddar cheese, sesame, etc) but I highly recommend this recipe using Trader Joe’s ‘everything but the bagel’ seasoning.
You could make these into full-sized bagels or smaller bite-sized bagels. Try these homemade whole wheat everything bagels with the recipe below.
Note: best fresh out of the oven with a little cream cheese!
