Plain Bagels
Ingredients
- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 Tbls sugar
- 1 1/2 tsps salt
- 1 Tbls vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 tsps yeast
- 1 1/4 to 11/2 cups warm water
Directions:
1. Activate yeast with warm water and sugar (you do not need to do this if you are using instant yeast).
2. Mix together all ingredients, but with only 1/3 of the flour. Slowly incorporate as much of the rest of the flour as you can.
3. Need dough for ten minutes or until smooth. Divide into 8 pieces. Wait for 10-20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 425 F. Roll bagels into shape. Let them rest for 20 minutes.
5. Bring a deep saucepan of water to boil. Boil each side of bagel for 1 minute. Let them dry.
6. Place bagels on well oiled tray. Bake for 10 minutes on each side.
Notes: I entered an International cooking contest with children. I needed to test out the recipe before contest day. These bagels turned out fantastic! It was easy to make and quick in the oven.
