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 activity.
2
Add the warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Once it's manageable, start kneading it by hand for about 10 minutes until it's 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 white chocolate into small pieces. Gently knead the chopped white chocolate and mint into the risen dough until evenly distributed.
5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Use your finger to make a hole in the center of each ball, then gently stretch it out to form a bagel shape.
6
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Poach the bagels, one at a time, for 30 seconds on each side. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Whisk the egg with the milk and brush 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 them cool slightly, then serve fresh, sprinkled with a little extra white chocolate, if desired.
