Another Version of a TNT favorite Bagel
1 cup unbleached flour
1/2 c. wheat germ
1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 c. water
- Stir together the flour, wheat germ, parmesan cheese, baking and garlic powder in a medium mixing bowl. Add egg and water; stir until blended.
- Knead dough with your hands until smooth. The dough should be very stiff. (If the dough is overly moist add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water).
- Roll tablespoonfuls of the dough into small balls. Poke your finger through each ball and make a hole in the center. Flatten each bagel slightly. Place about 1" apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake in a preheated 350 oven for about 35 min. or until the bagels are lightly brown. Remove from oven and let bagels cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
