Line a cookie tray with parchment paper and dust lightly with the cornmeal. Set aside.In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add the flour, yeast, salt and brown sugar and mix on low speed to combine the ingredients (or whisk before attaching bowl).Add the warm water and the rosemary to the bowl and mix on low for about 10 minutes, until dough is soft and elastic.Turn dough out onto a clean surface; shape into a ball. Place the dough ball into the prepared bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for 1 hour.After the dough has risen, take it from the bowl and gently punch it down to get rid of most of the air.Divide the dough into 8 pieces each weighing about 3.5 ounces. Roll each piece into a ball and place them on the cookie tray. Cover with a clean towel and let sit for another 20-25 minutes.Water bath: place water, brown sugar and sugar into a large pot. Bring the water to a boil.Preheat oven to 425°F.Take the towel off and gently poke a hole in each dough ball with your thumb, making sure to keep the bagel nice and round with an even hole. Hole can be quite large, as it will shrink when boiled. Place back on the tray.When water is boiling, place 3-4 bagels into the water and boil for 2 minutes. Turn each bagel over and boil for another 1 minute. Scoop the bagels out with a large, slotted spoon and place them back on the cookie tray, right side up.When all of the bagels have been boiled, sprinkle grated cheese over the tops.Place the tray into the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until bagels are a nice golden brown color.
