Description

Multigrain Seeded Bagels are a twist on the classic bagel. While the traditional bagel is typically made from white flour, these bagels incorporate a mix of bread flour, whole wheat flour, and a multigrain cereal or rolled oats, making them more hearty and nutritious. What sets them apart is the addition of seeds like sesame, flax, sunflower, poppy, and pumpkin. These seeds not only add texture but also provide a boost of healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup multigrain cereal or rolled oats
  • 2¼ tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Topping seeds: sesame, flax, sunflower, poppy, pumpkin (about ¼ cup total)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash) or plant-based milk for vegan version

  • Shape the Bagels
    • Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll into balls, poke a hole in the center, and stretch to form rings.

    • Boil bagels 1 min per side. Drain on a towel.
