1 1/2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of lukewarm water
1/2 cup of lukewarm milk
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of water (for boiling)
Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to make your own chocolate bagels:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the lukewarm water, lukewarm milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Add the chocolate chips to the dough and knead again until they are evenly distributed.
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean cloth. Let it rise for about an hour or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal parts.
Roll each part into a ball and use your thumb to make a hole in the center. Stretch the dough to make the hole bigger.
Place the bagels on a floured surface and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the tablespoon of water.
Carefully place the bagels into the boiling water, one at a time, and let them boil for about 30 seconds on each side.
Remove the bagels from the water and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the bagels for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Remove the bagels from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy your freshly baked chocolate bagels with your favorite spread or toppings.
