MM BY HELEN PEAGRAM

1 tsp Sugar
1 cup Warm water
1 tbsp Dry yeast
2 Eggs
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
3 1/2 cup All-purpose flour (approx)
2 tsp Salt

POACHING LIQUID

16 cup Water
2 tbsp Sugar

GLAZE

1/2 cup Sesame or poppy seeds
1 Egg, beaten


1. In a large bowl, dissolve 1 tsp sugar in water. Sprinkle yeast
over top. Let stand for 10 minutes til frothy. Whisk in eggs with
oil. Beat in 2 cups of the flour, sugar and salt until smooth.

not sticky dough.

and elastic and dough springs back when poked with finger. Place in a
greased bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap and
tea towel. Let rise in warm place for 1 -1 1/2 hours or til doubled
in bulk.

3. Punch down; knead several times. Divide into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each into a 12 inch rope, covering pieces with towel while
working.

4. Bring ends of dough together, overlapping by about 1 inch and
stretching overlap around other end to meet underneath. Pinch firmly
to seal. NOTE: Unless ends are pinched together very firmly, they
will come apart in the water.

5. Poaching liquid. In a wide saucepan, bring water to a boil; add
sugar. Slip bagels into water, 3-4 at a time; cook over medium heat
for 1 minute. Using slotted spoon or spatula, remove bagels to well
greased or parchment lined baking sheets.

6. Glaze: Place sesame seeds in a dish. Brush bagels with egg. Dip
bagels in seeds. Return to baking sheet. Bake at 400 F for 20-25
minutes or til tops are golden and bottoms sound hollow when tapped.
Transfer to a rack to cool.

flour for all purpose. Increase 2 Tb sugar to 1/4 cup. Stir in 2 ts
cinnamon along with eggs. After punching down dough, thoroughly knead
in 1 cup raisins. Omit sesame seeds.
