Millet Bagels

Directions

1. 1
   Combine the flour, millet, yeast, honey, and salt.
2. 2
   Make sure you put the salt and yeast in separate areas of the bowl.
3. 3
   Pour warm water over the dry ingredients, centering the water over the yeast.
4. 4
   Mix the dough until it can be shaped into a single ball, and knead for 10-15 minutes.
5. 5
   When the kneading is complete, divide the dough into 6 balls.
6. 6
   Form these balls by stretching the sides of the dough down to the bottom and up into the center of the dough until the surface is even and smooth.
7. 7
   Cover the dough with plastic wrap, or a very lightly dampened tea towel, and rest the dough for about 15 minutes.
8. 8
   Roll the dough out to a 15 cm circle.
9. 9
   Fold the dough in thirds by bringing one side over the center, and the other side over that, like a letter.
10. 10
    Repeat the folding a second time, and thoroughly seal the seams together.
11. 11
    Strech one end of the dough so it is very thin, and flatten the other end with a rolling pin.
12. 12
    Form the dough into a ring shape by wrapping the flattened end of the dough around the thin end.
13. 13
    Seal the seams.

15. 15
    Bring some water to a boil in a shallow pan.

    Add 1 tablespoon of honey or molasses.
17. 17
    Add in the bagels and boil on each side for 30 seconds.
18. 18
    Place the bagels on a dry tea towel to dry off any excess moisture.
