A simple basic recipe. Time is approximate due to kneeding and rising of dough. Ingredients:
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water |
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 egg |
1 egg yolk |
3 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar and salt, dissolve. Lightly beat in the 1 eggs. Stir well. Add 2 cups of flour, stirring to make a smooth thin dough. Then add remainder of flour to make a stiff dough. Knead this dough 15 minutes. Then set aside covered to rise for 40 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into 10 equal parts and knead each separately to form a small ball. Push a floured finger through the center of each and twirl it around your finger to make a bagel with about a 1 to 1 1/2 hole and an outer diameter of about 3 . Let rise for 20 minutes.
3. Bring to boil 3 qts. water with 1 tablespoon sugar in it. Boil 4-5 bagels at a time for 4 minutes each, turning carefully. Dry on a paper towel. Mix the egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water, beat well, and brush the bagels with the mixture. Bake 20-30 minutes at 400oF (until brown). Don't expose to direct fire in the oven.
