Wholemeal Cinnamon Cranberry Bagel

Here's my all time favorite~Bagel. 

It's not a common bread that you can get in Malaysia bakery. 

That's why I decided to bake my own bagel.

This is my 3rd attempt and I'm still not satisfy with the bagel shape. 

I'll keep trying until I get a smooth and round bagel!!

Here's the recipe (adapted from Barbara bakes)

Note: If you like wholemeal bread, just substitute half of the bread flour with wholemeal flour.

You will notice the recipe requested to retard the bagel dough in refrigerator but I skipped the step (too lazy to do so). I just straight away bake and eat it..YUM!!!
