Bagels
Never more will you pay $3 for a 'fancy schmancy' bagel! Scoff at bakery prices! Eat bagels everyday for a fraction of the cost.
Makes about 8 bagels.
4 C. Bread Flour (NO substitutions!)
1 TBS Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
1 TBS Veggie Oil
2 tsp. Instant Yeast (No substitutions!)
1 1/4 - 1 1/2 C. Warm Water
Kosher Salt, Parmesan, Sesame Seeds etc...for toppings
Mix all ingredients in bowl. Knead for 10 minutes, until dough is uniform and smooth.
Cut into 8 pieces and form each into a ball. Let rest for 20 minutes under a buttered piece of plastic wrap or damp tea towel.
Roll balls out into a 'snake' that is double the width of one or your hands. Wrap around your dominant hand and roll through the center into a loop.
Let rest another 20 minutes under the plastic wrap or damp towel.
In the meantime, fill a pot with about a gallon of water and add a TBS of sugar.
Let water come to a boil. Preheat oven to 425*F.
Place a few bagels at a time into boiling water. Boil for 1 minute on each side then place on a cooling rack to dry. Top with any toppings at this stage.
Bake at 450*F on buttered cookies sheets for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
These are some of the best bagels you will ever taste!
