    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2 1/4      teaspoons  active dry yeast
    1         tablespoon  granulated sugar -- plus
    1 1/2      teaspoons  granulated sugar
    1 1/4           cups  warm water -- (110 to 115F)
    2               cups  bread flour -- plus more for kneading
    1 1/2           cups  whole wheat flour
    1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
    1                cup  Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli -- divided
       1/2           cup  semisweet chocolate chips
                          Egg wash:
    1                     egg -- beaten with
    1           teaspoon  water

In small bowl, combine yeast and sugar. Add 1/2 cup warm water. Let 
sit 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.

Meanwhile, in large bowl or bowl of stand mixer, stir flours and salt 
to combine. Pour in yeast mixture and another 1/2 cup warm water. 
Stir, adding just enough of remaining 1/4 cup water until dough forms.

Transfer dough to lightly floured surface. Knead dough by hand 10 to 
15 minutes until smooth, firm and elastic; OR, knead dough in stand 
mixer with dough hook on medium speed 5 minutes until dough is 
smooth, firm and elastic. Knead in or stir in 1/2 cup muesli and 
chocolate chips just until incorporated.

Shape dough into ball and place in large, lightly greased bowl; turn 
to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or tea towel and let rise in warm 
place 1 hour until doubled.

Punch down risen dough; let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, fill large, 
wide pot two-thirds full with water. Heat water to just below simmer. 
Heat oven to 425F, and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into smooth ball. 
Use fingers to poke hole in center of each ball, stretching each hole 
until it is as big as half the diameter of entire bagel (it might 
look too big at first, but it will shrink when you boil/bake it). 
Place bagels on prepared baking sheet. Cover with damp towel or 
lightly greased plastic wrap and let rest 10 minutes.

Once bagels have rested, use slotted spoon to lower a few bagels at a 
time into simmering water. Allow bagels to float to top. Leave bagels 
in water 1 to 2 minutes, then flip over and leave in water another 1 
to 2 minutes (the longer they stay in the water, the chewier they become).

Remove bagels with slotted spoon and return to prepared baking sheet. 
Repeat with remaining bagels.

Brush tops of bagels with egg wash, then sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup 
muesli over top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until bagels are golden brown. 
Remove from oven; transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
