For 16 Persons
Category: Bread maili, Bagels
1 pk Dry yeast
2 ts Salt
Sugar
4 c Flour; (4 to 4.5)
1 c Water; Boiling potato wate
2 tb Salad oil
3 Eggs
Combine yeast, salt, 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 1/2 cups flour in a large
bowl. Heat potato water and salad oil in saucepan over low heat until very
warm (120 - 130F). At low speed, beat this liquid into dry ingredients
until just blended. Increase speed to medium and beat 2 minutes, scraping
down bowl. Beat in 2 eggs and 1/2 cup flour to form a thick batter. Beat 2
minutes and scrape down bowl. Stir in about 2 cups flour to make a soft
dough. Knead on lightly floured board until smooth and elastic, about 10
minutes. Add more flour while kneading, as needed. Shape dough into ball
and place in greased bowl; turn dough over to grease top. Cover with moist
towel and rise in warm place until double, about
1 1/2 hours.
Punch down dough and cut dough into 16 pieces on lightly floured surface.
Cover with moist towel and rest for 20 minutes. Roll each piece into 8
inch long strip. Form into rings and place 2 inches apart on 2 greased
cookie sheets. Cover with moist towel and let rise in warm place for 30
minutes (dough will NOT be doubled).
Preheat oven to 425F. In a 12 inch skilled, bring 1 inch of water and 2
tablespoons sugar to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and drop
a few rings in at a time and simmer for 3 minutes, turning once. Remove
rings to paper towels. Drain. Place on cookie sheets. Beat remaining egg
slightly and brush over rings. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until light brown.
Cool 5 minutes on wire rack. Cut in half across the width and toast to
serve.
Makes 16 bagels.
