Directions

1. In a stand mixer bowl combine the dry ingredients: 2 c. whole wheat flour, 1 c. All-Purpose flour, 1 ¼ c. Oats flour and 2 tsps. Salt. Set aside.  
2. In another medium size mixing bowl combine the 1- 2/3 c. of warm water (not warmer than 100 degrees), the yeast and honey, whisk to combine, cover, and place in a warm place for about 10 minutes until the yeast foams. 
3. Add the water/yeast mixture to the dry ingredients in the stand mixing bowl. 
4. Mix at low until the ingredients come together, about 4 minutes. Then increase the speed to medium to knead the dough for almost 10 minutes, at that time you will see the dough like a ball that is not sticky and detach from the bowl sides. 
5. Spray another bowl with oil, transfer the dough to it, cover with plastic wrap, place in a warm place and let it rise for 2 hours, . It will double in size.  
6. After the dough double in size, punch it and let it rest for about 10 minutes.  
7. Flour the working counter area and divide the dough in 10 to 12 small pieces.  
8. Roll each one into a ball, poke your index finger through the center, swirl the dough around your finger few times so the bagel hole gets larger. Place the bagels on parchment paper, cover them with a dry towel and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes.   
9. At this point start preheating your oven at 425 degrees.  
10. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the 1 tbsp. of honey and then reduce the boil to a simmer.  
11. Next, get your bagels after they rested for 10 minutes, and simmer each for 1 minute on each side. When done, remove from the water with a slotted spoon, place them in a baking sheet lined with parchment or cornmeal.  
12. Beat the water and egg and brush over the bagels, then sprinkle with whatever you love, seeds, salt, etc.…  
13.  Bake at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, (depending on your oven calibration) or until you see them turning into beautiful golden brown color.
