I could only find one dough hook, oops, so kneaded with my one dough hook for a couple of minutes and then just finished kneading by hand. My second screw-up was I got distracted and forgot my dough was rising. Instead of one hour, it rose for 1 hour and 45 minutes, oops again. I thought surely I had blown it. But I have to say they came out YUMMY! I am so impressed with the recipe and highly recommend it. I bet adding craisins or dried cherries or regular raisins would be good!makhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841387086868255954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-83597989842604792452011-03-03T08:49:17.206-08:002011-03-03T08:49:17.206-08:00Anon.

The only thing I changed was the amount of water from 2 cups to 1 cup only because I didn't soak the hot grain cereal beforehand. I put in all the ingredients as your recipe indicated and once the bread machine dough cycle was complete, I took the dough out, shaped the bagels and let them rise for 25 minutes. Then boiled them and followed the rest of your intstructions and voila! Yummy, whole wheat bagels!

But...Alisa, I have never owned a breadmaker before. But, I don't see why you couldn't make this in the breadmaker as long as you just mix it and knead it. It is worth giving it a try. When you take the dough out, just make sure the dough isn't too wet or sticky. If it is, you might need to knead in a bit more flour with your hands. You can then let it rise and shape as usual. I would love to know if it comes out for you. Hope this helps.~EllieElliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18029231204593874635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-79084281894585362012010-07-06T12:17:19.555-07:002010-07-06T12:17:19.555-07:00I'm looking for a great whole grain bagel reci...I'm looking for a great whole grain bagel recipe I can use in my breadmaker.

They will probably melt when you boil them.

It was my second homemade bagel adventure and it was so easy and fun! I couldn't find the 10-grain cereal so I improvised: some grits, some oats (steel cut and rolled), some rye flakes and cracked wheat. I mixed them all together and measured out a cup and then added 2 cups of boiling water. Instead of whole wheat flour I used whole wheat pastry flour and my dough ended up too stiff. I added a 1/4 cup more warm water and then the dough was perfect :) My beautiful bagels are baking now and I am so excited for breakfast tomorrow morning :) Thanks so much Ellie!Shaunanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590241869561905455.post-35925514929072783442009-11-05T18:05:45.006-08:002009-11-05T18:05:45.006-08:00Chrysta,

My husband, my 17 month old son and I loved them! <br /><br />I didn't have instant yeast, so I used active dry yeast, but they grew OK and also I had to add more flour, because the dough was very wet and sticky, I added aprox 1 cup more of unbleached white flour (probably it was because I added only 3/4 cup of cereal instead of a cup, my bad! It was late and I got mixed up with the numbers in the measuring cup. :-p), but they came out great! After they doubled in size the first time, I shaped them, put them on a baking sheet, then put them inside a plastic bag in the fridge overnight. In the morning I took them out and left them 30-35 minutes to grow, and I baked them... VOILA! <br /><br />This is my second time doing bagels and I'm really happy with the way they came out! This recipe is a keeper!

I haven't tried doing this by hand. <br />1.But if you are doing this by hand make sure you knead it at least ten minutes. It is important <br />2.Make sure you use instant yeast(not active), this helps tremendously. <br />3.Also, make sure when adding the hot cereal, that the mixture is not hotter than 110 degrees F. or it will kill the yeast.<br />4.Make sure the the bagels have risen at least 20 -25 minutes( you can let them rise a bit longer if you see they haven't risen enough). If your house is cool, it will not rise. If your house is not warm enough, you can turn on your oven to preheat for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.Turn the oven off completely. It should be nice and cozy when you open the door. Not too hot not too cold. This will help the bagels to rise. <br />5. If your bagels did not float in the water, it was probably because the bagels hadn't risen enough. <br /><br />ML, I hope that helps.
