How to make bagels?
I have a breadmaker, if that helps.
Answers:
BAGELS
1 pkg. active dry yeast
1 1/2 c. warm water
2 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. salt
4 1/2 to 5 c. flour
1 gal. boiling water
Bagel toppings (poppy seeds, onion, etc.)
In a small bowl, mix together the warm water, yeast, sugar and salt. Allow to stand for about 5 minutes (until bubbles start to form). In a large bowl, place 4 cups of flour and then add the yeast mixture and the egg. Mix until a workable dough is formed. Turn out the dough and knead, add the additional flour as you work the dough. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes). Place the dough into a greased bowl and allow to rise for about 20 minutes. Punch down the dough and place on a slightly floured board, cut the dough into 18 pieces and roll the pieces into ropes about 6 inches long. Press the ends together to form the bagel shape. Place the bagels on a floured surface and allow to rise for 20 minutes. In a large saucepan bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Drop in the bagels, one by one, and simmer for about 3 minutes. Turn them with a spoon after a minute or so. Remove the bagels and allow them to drain. Repeat with the remaining bagels. Shake some cornmeal on a cookie sheet and place the bagels on this. Place the sheet in a preheated 375 degree oven and bake until golden brown, about 30 or 40 minutes.
If you want to top your bagels, shake the toppings on after you remove them from the water bath.
If you want onion or garlic flavored bagels, shake on onion or garlic powder as you roll out the ropes.

INGREDIENTS
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 2/3 cups warm water
2 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
DIRECTIONS
Mix together the unsifted flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, yeast, water, and butter in the bread machine on the manual setting.
OR, mix 1-1/2 cup flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, and yeast. Heat water and butter to 120-130 degrees F. Add water to dry ingredients; beat 2 minutes at medium speed on mixer. Add 1/2 cup flour, beat at high speed 2 minutes. Stir in more flour to make a stiff dough. Knead 8-10 minutes. Cover and let rise. Punch down. Cover; let rest 15 minutes.
Remove from bread machine.
Divide dough into 12 pieces; shape 3 pieces into smooth balls. Poke a 1 inch hole in each. Drop bagels into a large skillet with 1 inch water (simmering) with 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 teaspoons salt in the water. Cook on medium low heat for 3 minutes, turn and cook 2 minutes; turn again, cook 1 minute more. Drain on towels. Repeat for rest of dough. Place on greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20-25 minutes. Remove from sheets and cool. If desired, before baking, mix 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon water, brush on bagels, and sprinkle with sesame, poppy, or caraway seeds.
Hawaiian Bagels Recipe
Ingredients
1-1/8 cups water
1 teaspoon coconut extract optional
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons malt powder or honey or sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3-1/3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon wheat gluten, optional
2 teaspoons yeast
1/2 cup dried pineapple, diced
5/8 cup dried coconut shredded or flaked
Instructions
Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Add the pineapple and coconut 5 minutes before the end of the kneading phase or work into the dough before shaping. Use the dough setting. Or stop the machine after the rises.
Prepare the baking sheets or use nonstick sheets. Remove dough from the machine, punch it down, and roll it out into a rectangle about 14 x 18 inches. Divide into equal pieces and shape into bagel form or use a cutter. Place the bagels on the sheets and let them rise again in a draft free location. This rise can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours.
Fill a 4 to 6 qt soup pot with water 3 to 4 inches deep. You can add 2 Tbsp of malt syrup, honey, sugar or non-diastatic malt powder. Get the water to boiling. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Drop the bagels one at a time into the boiling water. Boil only 3 or 4 at a time so they don't crowd. Simmer each side for a minute and return to the baking sheet. Add glazes or toppings as desired. Bake just below the middle of a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, but begin checking at 15 minutes.
These are best eaten while they are still warm. Pre-slicing is suggested prior to freezing.
Yield: about 15 bagels
