(If you're adding extra ingredients like nuts and raisins, add them a little before you're finished kneading, and knead together until they are fully incorporated.)

Once the dough doubles in size, let out the gas and divide into 5 pieces.

Fig and Walnut Bagels I added 5 pieces of fried fig (chopped) and 20 g of roasted walnuts (chopped) to this basic whole wheat bagel recipe.

The sweetness of fig and the flavor of walnut go perfectly well together!

Sesame Bagels: I mixed in 2 tablespoons of black sesame seeds into the basic whole wheat bagel dough.
