Elevate your homemade bagels with rye flour, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and caraway seeds for an irresistible pumpernickel twist.
Ingredients:
  • 1.25 cups warm water
  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup rye flour
  • 0.5 cup molasses
  • 0.33333334326744 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
  • 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 gallon water
Instructions:
  • In a small bowl, mix warm water, whole-wheat flour, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes until the yeast softens and starts to froth and bubble.
  • Combine the rye flour, molasses, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, coffee granules, caraway seeds, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the yeast mixture and all-purpose flour. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic for about 10 minutes. Grease a large bowl.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a warm damp towel or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a cozy spot until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and grease a baking sheet.
  • Boil water in a large pot. Divide dough into 13 pieces and shape into balls. Press a hole in the center of each dough ball and stretch to form a 1-inch hole, maintaining a 1/2-inch thickness. Boil dough circles in batches of 3 or 4 for 45 seconds on each side. Drain for 1 minute, then place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake bagels in the preheated oven until the bottoms are lightly browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
