Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (approx. 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoons Baking soda
• 4 cups Water (for boiling)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, instant yeast, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the warm water and vegetable oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 4

Gently knead in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then poke a hole in the center of each ball with your thumb. Stretch the hole to about 1-2 inches wide (it will shrink slightly as the dough proofs).

Step 7

Place the shaped bagels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and let them rest for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the boiling water.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil and stir in the baking soda. Reduce to a simmer.

Step 10

Boil the bagels in batches, about 1 minute on each side. Use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the boiled bagels back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake the bagels in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are firm and slightly crisp on the outside.

Step 12

Cool the bagels on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them plain, with cream cheese, or your favorite spread!
