Kitchen Appliances and Recipes


List of Ingredients

3 cups Flour
3 1/3 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Parsley -- flakes
1/4 teaspoon Paprika
3 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
1 1/8 cups Water



Recipe

Place all ingredients into bread pan of your
bread maker, in the order recommended by
manufacturer. Insert the bread pan into the
bread maker, and select "Dough" and loaf
size (1 1/2 lb. loaf). Select desired delay
option, and press Start.

When dough cycle has completed, remove
dough from bread maker, and set aside two
1/4 inch balls of dough. You will use these
later to determine if it is time to boil your
bagels. If the dough pops to the top of the
boiling water right away, you are ready!

Place dough on a floured surface and divide
into 8 equal portions. Form balls, and gently
press your thumb through the middle of each
ball, and slowly stretch dough into a bagel
shape. Leave bagels to rise on same floured
surface, lightly covered with a towel.

While bagels are rising, bring 3 qts. of water
to a rolling boil. Add 1 Tbs. sugar to boiling
water and stir to dissolve sugar. Drop first
dough ball (you set these aside earlier) into
boiling water, using a slotted spoon. When
dough balls pass the test, you are ready to
boil your bagels by dropping them carefully
into the boiling water, 2 or 3 at a time.
Boil on each side for 1 1/2 minutes, then
remove from water and cool on a wire cooling
rack for 1 minute.

Brush each bagel with an egg wash (1 egg +
1 Tbs. water) and sprinkle with sesame or
poppy seeds if desired. (Non stick cooking
spray may be substituted for egg wash).

Bake at 400* F. on baking sheet which has
been sprinkled with cornmeal (or a greased
baking sheet), for 12-15 minutes or until
golden brown.

Variation:
Try sprinkling with Parmesan cheese and
garlic bread seasoning for a more pronounced
Italian flavor.
