Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and maple syrup. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and sea salt, mixing well.
- 3
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
- 4
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 5
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 6
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball, then poke a hole in the center to form a bagel shape.
- 8
In a large pot, bring about 8 cups of water to a boil and add the baking soda.

Carefully drop each bagel into the boiling water, boiling for about 1 minute on each side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on the prepared baking sheet.

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top of each bagel.
