Fatfree Bread-Bakers Mailing List

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/2 Cups warm water
1 T yeast
mix in:
2 T honey
1 T salt
4 C Flour — Ww, Oat, White

Let yeast proof in water for 5 minutes, then mix in the honey, salt and
flour.

Knead for 10 minutes until dough is happy

Rise, covered in oiled bowl for 15 minutes

Pat dough into rectangular slab 1 " thick and cut into strips. Join ends
of strips together to form bagels. Let rise, covered, on oiled tray for 20
minutes

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and put a pot of water on to boil

After the 20 minute rise is done, drop bagels, one at a time, into boiling
water. Take them out once they rise to the top of the water (Should be
anywhere between 30 sec and 1 minute)

While still wet, sprinkle on toppings of choice (onion, garlic, sesame
seeds, poppy seeds, and sea salt all at once is my favorite) Bake on tray with
cornmeal to prevent sticking.

They will be done in around 25 minutes (varies) – when tops are golden
brown.

can be made in 1 1/2 hours, start to finish. This recipie has been
tried by friends who have never worked with yeast before with great
success.
