Honey Bagel

Hi, everyone.

I like making Bagels. But I haven't write Bagel recipe yet.
There are so many kinds of Bagels all over the world!! I wonder what kind of Bagel shall I make every time!
Babels keeps longer than other type of bread, because they contains less water. 
When you knead the dough, it is really stiff!! You can add extra water if you cant knead.

This is Sweet Bagel - Honey Bagel

Honey, it is popular product of New Zealand. If you came to New Zealand, you should buy honey as a souvenir.

Honey Bagel (make 5) 
200g High grade flour
20g Wholemeal flour
2g  Salt
50g Sour dough
3g Instant yeast
30g Honey (If you like sweeter, put some more)
120g Water (lukewarm)

1-2 Table spoon of Sugar

1.  In a bowl, dissolve sourdough, yeast, honey in lukewarm water.

2. In another large bowl, combine flours, salt, mixture of yeast and water. Mix with your finger combine the ingredients till water and flour combined well.

Rest them for 15 minutes. 
Meanwhile, prepare boiling water with 1 - 2 table spoon of sugar in a large sauce pan.
Sugar makes them brown and golden surface.
