BAGELS RECIPE


INGREDIENTS

 1 cup warm water
    1 1/2 teaspoons yeast or 1 (1/4 ounce) package for manual directions
    3 cups unbleached white flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    2 tablespoons vegan granulated sugar   
    sesame seeds, toasted, optional

DIRECTIONS:

Bread Machine Directions:
a. Except for sesame seeds, place all ingredients in bread machine and set for normal white vegan bread. (You may also add whatever seasoning you'd like for a flavored bagel at this step.)

b. Let the machine knead once and then turn off the machine and set a timer for 20 minutes.  Grease a cookie sheet.

c. Cut into eight equal pieces.  Roll each piece into a rope about 1" thick, wet ends and stick together. Transfer to prepared cookie sheet, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes in a warm place.  Preheat oven to 550 degrees F.

d. Fill a wok (or whatever you use) with about 3" water.  Place vegan sugar in this water and bring to a boil.  Add bagels for 1 minute, turning them as they boil.  Drain.

e. Return dough to cookie sheet. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.  Bake for 15 minutes, or until desired browning occurs.

Manual Directions:
a. Add warm water to a small bowl.  Sprinkle on the package active dry yeast; do not stir. Cover with a saucer and allow to proof for 5 minutes. Stir and allow to proof for an additional 3 minutes.  Mixture should be frothy.  If it isn't, discard and start over.

b. In a bowl, mix together flour and salt.  Mix in yeast-water mixture and lightly knead in the bowl.  Cover and set aside to allow dough to rise, about 1 hour. (You may add whatever seasoning you'd like for a flavored bagel when adding the flour and salt.) Grease a cookie sheet.

c. Cut into eight equal pieces.  Roll each piece into a rope about 1" thick, wet ends and stick together. Transfer to prepared cookie sheet, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes in a warm place.  Preheat oven to 550 degrees F.

d. Fill a wok (or whatever you use) with about 3" water.  Place vegan sugar in this water and bring to a boil.  Add bagels for 1 minute, turning them as they boil.  Drain.

e. Return dough to the greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
