   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1                cup  milk
      1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- (4 Tbsp)
   1                cup  sourdough starter -- from the fridge
   1                     egg
      1/2           cup  cocoa powder
      1/4           cup  dark brown sugar
   2 1/4      teaspoons  Red Star Platinum Yeast -- (1 packet)
   1           teaspoon  salt
   3               cups  bread flour -- divided, (to 3 1/2C)
   1           teaspoon  sugar -- or honey optional

Whether you're a chocolate lover or not, you'll find that these cocoa 
sourdough bagels are the perfect addition to your breakfast menu. I 
like mine with some almond butter, but I think you'll find that they 
pair perfectly well with butter and jam or cream cheese.

Combine the milk and butter in a microwaveable bowl.  Microwave for 
about 1 minute, until the milk is warm and the butter is softened. 
Transfer the milk and butter to the bowl of your stand mixer. Add the 
sourdough starter, egg, cocoa powder, brown sugar, yeast, salt, and 1 
cup of bread flour.

Using the beater blade, mix on medium speed for 2 - 3 minutes, until 
the mixture is smooth.  Switch to the dough hook and add an 
additional 2 cups of bread flour. Mix on the lowest speed until the 
dough comes together and forms a smooth ball. If the dough seems 
overly sticky, add an additional 1/4 - 1/2 cup of flour. Allow the 
dough to knead in the mixer for about 2 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover. Let the dough 
rise until it has just about doubled in size and the imprint of two 
fingers remains.

After the dough has risen, punch it down to remove any air bubbles 
and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 
12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and let it rest for 
about 10 minutes.

While the dough rests, bring a large pot of water to a boil. If 
desired, add a teaspoon or two of sugar or honey to the water. 
Preheat the oven to 425F.

Meanwhile, shape the bagels by pushing a lightly floured finger 
through the center of the ball and stretching it in each direction to 
form a ring. Transfer the shaped bagels to a baking sheet lined with 
parchment or a silicone mat.

Working in batches, transfer the bagels to the boiling water. Boil 
for 90 seconds on each side, then return the bagels back to the 
baking sheet. If the bagels are overly wet, they can be dried off 
with a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel.

Bake the bagels for 22 - 25 minutes. Allow the bagels to cool on the 
pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool 
completely before slicing.
