List of Ingredients




4 cups of bread flour
1.5 cups of hot water
2 teaspoons of instant active yeast
3 tablespoons of sugar
salt ( I use 2 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons of oil ( softened butter, margarine, canola, olive, etc)
(sometimes I am a bit heavy on the oil, but if you want authentic french bread then exclude oil) have flour lukewarm (20 seconds in the micro works nice)
add salt and mix up (you can sub different flours at this point but keep at least 2 cups of bread flour you can add a couple tablespoons of wheat gluten flour for a better rise when using graham, ryes and other subbed flours)

water hot and add to mixing bowl with sugar....stir to dissolve when the water is around 104F then add the yeast to the top of the sugar water...wait until it froths up a bit then you are ready to add the flour mix. as you begin to mix the liquid and dry add the oil/butter and any other admends (seeds, flaked grain, raisins, etc) knead until smooth then proof...I let it more than double if you have it in warm spot it will proof in under an hour. turn out the dough...quickly shape then let rise in a damp warm oven until more than doubled remove from oven and raise temp of oven to 400F shove in the bread and check every 10 minutes after the first 10 I drop the temp to 350F rolls bake up quickly big bun loafs usually will go 30-40 minutes...

Bagels
above recipe
add:
2 egg whites beaten up
after first proofing knead breifly and roll out into long loaf and begin pinching off pieces like you are making rolls...be sure the balls are sealed up, flatten a bit then using your index punch a hole through and spin on finger until it slings out a bit...set on floured cloth until all are done...let rise for about 20 minutes...ready a large skillet with about 1.5 inches of water on a slow simmering boil...carefully put a couple at a time in for about 15 seconds on each side the out to a greased baking pan...after all are done then use the two egg yolks that are left with a half tsp of salt and 2 tablespoons of water all beaten up and brush the tops and sides of the bagel...you can add course salt or sesame seeds or the like to the top after brushing....

into a 375F oven for about 20 minutes, but check on them...nice and medium brown...
