Yield : 15
 2 cups sourdough starter
 4 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
 1 tsp sea salt
 3 tbsp unrefined oil
 1/2 cup warm water
 1 egg (optional)
 oil, or egg mixed with water
 Add flour, salt, oil, and water (and egg if desired) to the starter.
 Knead well.  Cover and let rise for 3 hours in a warm place in an
 oiled bowl.
 Knead again and shape into rings by rolling dough like bread sticks
 and pinching ends together, or roll out 1/2 inch thick with a
 rolling pin and cut with a doughnut cutter.  Let rise for 1 1/2
 hours.
 Drop bagels into a large pot of boiling water (2 or 3 at a time).
 When they rise to the surface turn them over and boil 1 minute
 longer.
 Put boiled bagels on an oiled baking sheet. Brush with oil or beaten
 egg mixed with water.
 Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes or until golden brown.
