These charming Heart Shaped Bagels are perfect for special occasions or as a heartfelt breakfast treat. They are chewy, flavorful, and sure to warm anyone's heart.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. In a small bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Add the yeast mixture and vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Let it rise in a greased bowl for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope and shape into a heart.
Bring 2 quarts of water and honey to a boil in a large pot. Boil each heart-shaped bagel for about 1-2 minutes per side, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet.
Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
