BREAD MACHINE BAGEL RECIPE

Steps:

• This recipe is for a two-pound bread machine. Use the dough setting.
• Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the bread machine first. With my Zojirushi bread machine, I add the liquids first.
• Use the dough setting.
• Check the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. You'll want the dough to form a smooth, round ball. If the dough is too dry add liquid a teaspoon at a time until the dough balls up. If it looks too wet, add flour a tablespoon at a time until it looks as expected.
• When the cycle is done, remove the dough from the machine and let it rest on a lightly floured surface.
• While the dough is resting bring 3 quarts (12 cups) of water to a medium boil in a large pot. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar. The sugar helps to make the bagel crust a little crisper.
• This is also a great time to make the egg wash so you have that ready when needed. Beat the egg white and the water together. Then put it aside for later.
• Divide the dough into 10 equal sections. I use my bench scraper to help divide the dough. Roll each piece into a ball.
• Flatten balls. (I use the bench scraper for this too.) Poke a hole in the middle of each dough ball with your thumb. To get the final bagel shape, I kind of roll the dough away from the hole. Whatever method works for you is fine.
• Cover bagels with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Greasing the baking sheet would work fine too.) Then you're ready to boil the bagels!
• I boil 2 or 3 of them at a time. I use a slotted (flat) spatula to move the bagels to boiling water. Boil for them for 1 minute, 30 seconds on each side. Then move them to a wire rack with a paper towel underneath.
• Once all the bagels have been boiled, move them to the baking sheet. Apply the egg wash with a pastry brush.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until browned.

BREAD MACHINE BAGELS

Steps:

• Place water, salt, sugar, flour and yeast in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough setting.
• When cycle is complete, let dough rest on a lightly floured surface. Meanwhile, in a large pot bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar.
• Cut dough into 9 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a small ball. Flatten balls. Poke a hole in the middle of each with your thumb. Twirl the dough on your finger or thumb to enlarge the hole, and to even out the dough around the hole. Cover bagels with a clean cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle an ungreased baking sheet with cornmeal. Carefully transfer bagels to boiling water. Boil for 1 minute, turning half way through. Drain briefly on clean towel. Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet. Glaze tops with egg white, and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until well browned.

BEAUTIFUL BAGELS - (USING BREAD MACHINE TO MAKE THE DOUGH)

• Cut dough into 8 pieces.
• Roll and'gently massage' each piece into a snake.
• Dampen and overlap the ends pressing firmly to form a ring.
• Place each ring on an individual piece of baking paper already lightly sprayed with oil.
• Cover all rings with a sheet of baking paper and allow to rest.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil.
• Carefully lowering each bagel one by one (about 4 at a time) into the pan of boiling water, slide the paper from each bagel ring away.
• Gently turn bagels allowing about 40 seconds on each side.
• Lift each bagel out and drain on absorbent paper towels.
