Bread
These were DELICIOUS! They were non-fat also, but of course I put cream cheese on them Also, be sure you make sure there is no cheese, etc. on the racks or on the bottom of your oven. 550° will set anything in there on fire! (Keep the baking soda handy.)

Load into the bread machine:
1 Cup water
1 -1/2 T. honey
1 Tsp salt
1 Cup whole wheat flour
2 Cup white flour
1 -1/2 t. yeast

(I actually used all 3 cups of whole wheat flour.)

Let bread machine knead dough once, then rise for only 20 minutes. Remove dough from machine and divide into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into a rope, form a circle, press ends together (moistening ends with water helps). Place bagels on well-greased baking sheet, cover, let rise for 15-20 minutes.

While bagels rise, bring about 2 inches of water to a light boil in a non-aluminum pan. My cast iron skillet worked great. Carefully lower 3 or 4 bagels at a time into boiling water, cook for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove bagels and drain on a towel. Return to greased baking sheet and bake in preheated 550* oven for @ 8 minutes.
