Everyone loves bagels, but
have you ever made your own?
Not me...until yesterday!
I found the recipe on a blog,
but it was originally posted on the
allrecipes.com website.
Don't they look delicious?
Believe me...they sure were,
and very easy to make.
Tanya took one look,
and asked begged me to share
this recipe with you all.
It's definitely a keeper.
I hope you love it too. :)

Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
3 cups of bread flour
2 TBS white sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 TBS sugar
1 TSP cornmeal
1 egg white
Toppings if you wish: shredded asiago cheese, poppy seeds, dried onion flakes, rock salt, cinnamon sugar...
Directions:
1. Put the first 5 ingredients, in the order listed, into your bread machine. Set on Dough Cycle. When complete, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape into 8-10 balls, flatten them, and then poke hole in the middle. (Make it big, because the dough will rise.)
2. Cover bagels with a clean dish towel, and let rise. I placed mine on a lightly floured cutting board, then in a barely warm oven with a bowl of hot water to rise. Place a warm damp dish towel over them while they are rising. Mine rose for a full 60 min. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Dissolve 3 Tbsp of sugar in the boiling water.
3. Sprinkle an ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal. Heat oven to 375. Transfer bagels to boiling water. (My pot holds about 4 at a time.) Boil for 1 minute, turning halfway through. Remove bagels and place on dish towel to drain.
4. Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet. Glaze top with egg white. I used cracked pepper and finely grated old cheddar for my toppings.
5. Bake at 375 for 20-30 minutes. Mine took 30 minutes.
Enjoy!
