1 cup warm water
1 1/2 Tbsp. honey or maple syrup
3 cups bread flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. yeast
1 1/2 tsp. oil
Mix and knead the dough (or let your bread maker do it for you). Let it rise for 20 minutes. Turn out onto a floured surface.
Divide the dough in 8-12 pieces. [I made 12 the first time. Too small.]
Roll each piece into a rope and form into a circle, pressing ends together.
Place on well-greased baking sheet, cover with a warm/damp towel and let rise for 15-20 minutes.
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Admire your Pillsbury Dough Boys . . .
In a large non-aluminum pan, boil 3-4 inches of water. Lower 3-4 bagels at a time into simmering water. Cook 15-30 seconds each side.
Remove bagels, drain excess water.
Place bagels on a well-greased cookie sheet (or pre-heated pizza stone).
Bake 8 minutes. [For larger bagels, turn bagels over and bake another 4-6 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.]
Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool.
Yield: 12 small bagels (or 8 large bagels).
Yes. One of the dozen is M.I.A. ~ wherever did it go?
Aah . . . that’s better!
