Basic Bagel Recipes

Yield: 12 Servings

2 c Warm water
2 pk Active dry yeast
3 tb Sugar
3 ts Salt
5 3/4 c Flour
3 qt Water
1 tb Sugar
Cornmeal to sprinkle baking sheet
1 Egg yolk
1 tb Water

Combine warm water, yeast and sugar. Let stand 5
minutes, stir in salt. Gradually mix in 4 cups of flour, beat at medium
speed for
5 minutes. With spoon add 1 1/4 cups more flour to
make a stiff dough. Turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth,
elastic, and no longer sticky (about 15 minutes),
adding more flour as needed. Dough should be firmer than for most yeast
breads.
Place in a greased bowl, cover, let rise until almost
doubled (about 40 minutes). Knead dough lightly and divide into 12 equal
pieces. To shape, knead each piece, forming it into a
smooth ball. Holding ball with both hands, poke your thumbs through the
center. With one thumb in hole, work around
perimeter, shaping bagel like a doughnut 3 to 3 1/2 inches across. Place
shaped
bagels on lightly floured board, cover lightly and
let stand in a warm place for 20 minutes. Bring the 3 quarts of water
and 1 tbls
sugar to boiling in large kettle. Adjust heat to keep
it boiling gently. Lightly grease baking sheet and sprinkle with
cornmeal. Heat
oven to 400 degrees. Gently lift one bagel at a time
and drop into water, boil about 4 at a time, turning often, for 5
minutes. Lift out
with slotted spatula, drain briefly on a towel and
place on baking sheet. Brush with glaze made with 1 egg yolk and 1 tbls
water.
Bake 35 - 40 minutes, or until well browned and
crusty. Cool on rack.
WHOLE WHEAT BAGELS: Follow basic recipe, omitting
sugar. Use 3 T honey instead. In place of flour, use 2 cups whole
wheat flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ, and about 2 3/4 cup
all purpose flour, blended together. Knead with white flour.
PUMPERNICKEL BAGELS: Follow basic recipe, omitting
sugar. Use 3 T dark molasses in place of
sugar. In place of flour use 2 cups rye, 2 cups whole
wheat, 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour blended together. Knead with white
flour.
ONION BAGELS: Add 1/2 cup instant toasted onion to
basic dough with the yeast , water and sugar in basic recipe.
SEEDED BAGELS: Sprinkle boiled bagels with sesame
seed, poppy seed, or caraway seed after using egg wash and before
baking.
