Easy Chocolate Bagels instructions

- Take the dough out when the kneading is done (before the first rising). Divide into 6 to 7 portions. Roll the dough up into balls, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not let the dough rise in the bread machine..
- Punch out the air with the seams up. Roll into a cylinder..
- Stretch the dough until it's about 25cm long, then flatten the two ends with a rolling pin..
- Connect the two ends and make a ring-shape. Take care to secure the seams well. Place on top of individual pieces of parchment paper..
- Let the dough rise for 40 to 50 minutes (so that it's about 80% risen)..
