Bagels, first attempt

We're realising that almost everything can be made from scratch, a thing I am sure that our parents knew fifty years ago, everyday life back then when convenience food wasn't available.

The bagels are basic whole wheat bread flour, same salt, same sugar and just a tiny bit more work. The breadmaker has a dough setting, so the dough was made while we carried on our lives, then divided into 8 pieces, formed and then one last rise before an egg wash and application of seeds and stuff.

Sixteen minutes bake at 450 degrees.

And yes, there are only seven in the photo. I wonder why...
