Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Make sure the salt doesn't come into direct contact with the yeast, as it can inhibit its effectiveness.
2
Pour in the warm water and honey, then mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Once it's manageable, start kneading by hand for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
3
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Chop the pistachios into smaller pieces, then knead them into the risen dough until evenly distributed.
5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Use your finger to create a hole in the center of each, and gently stretch it to form a bagel shape.
6
In a large pot, bring water to a boil, then reduce the heat. Boil the bagels one by one for 30 seconds on each side, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Whisk the egg with the milk, and brush the mixture over the tops of the bagels. This will help them bake to a beautiful golden brown.
8
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let cool, then serve fresh, drizzled with a little extra honey and sprinkled with toasted pistachios.
