Bread Machine Bagels

I have made a lot of breads before, but never tried bagels. My girls are bread lovers, and bagels are a favorite morning food at our house. So I found an easy recipe and gave it a try. An apology to the original author of this recipe, because I do not know where I found it. I scribbled it on a piece of paper without writing the source. 

So, here it goes. Get ready for quick. Get ready for easy. Get ready for delicious!

Bread Machine Bagels

1 c. warm water
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
3 c. flour
1 envelope yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)

3 qt. boiling water
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. cornmeal
1 egg white, beaten

Put first 5 ingredients in bread machine and choose dough cycle. 

 

When finished, turn out on lightly floured surface.
Divide dough into 9 pieces. Flatten and poke holes in the center. Cover bagels and let rest for 10 minutes.



Bring water to a boil and dissolve sugar.
Sprinkle baking sheet with cornmeal.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Boil each bagel for 1 minute. 

 

Arrange bagels on cookie sheet.
Glaze the tops with egg white.



Bake for 20-25 minutes.

That is it! Simple. Enjoy!
