Categories : 4 Star Pasta

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 pound fettucine — or tagliatelle
6 1/2 ounces prosciutto — or turkey bacon
1 tablespoon canola oil — butter flavored
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons basil leaves — shredded

Apricot bagel

Recipe By : The Best Bagels are made at home Dona Z. Meilach
Serving Size : 15 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bagels Machine
Yeast

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/8 cups water
2 teaspoons orange extract — optional
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons malt powder — or honey / sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon wheat gluten — optional
2 teaspoons yeast
3/4 cup dried apricots — diced

Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Use the dough
setting. Add the apricots 5 minutes before the end of the kneading phase or
work
into the dough before shaping. If you don’t have a dough setting stop the
machine after the rises.

Prepare the baking sheets or use nonstick sheets.
Remove dough from the machine, punch it down, and roll it out into a rectangle
about 14 x 18. Divide into equal pieces and shape into bagel form or use a
cutter. Place the bagels on the sheets and let them rise again. I put them in
the oven to provide a draft free location.

This rise can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours depending on what else is
going on in your life.

Fill a 4 to 6 qt soup pot with water 3 to 4 " deep. You can add 2 T of malt
syrup, honey, sugar or non-diastatic malt powder. Get the water to boiling.

Preheat the oven to 400.

Drop the bagels one at a time into the boiling water. Boil only 3 or 4 at a
time so they don’t crowd. Simmer each side for a minute and return to the
baking sheet.

Add glazes or toppings as desired.

Bake just below the middle of a preheated 400 degree oven. The book calls for
20 to 25 minutes. I usually start at 15 minutes for the 1st sheet and less for
the second.

These are best eaten while they are still warm. They can be frozen – you may
want to slice them first so you can defost them in the toaster.

Serving Ideas : for peach bagels sub dried peaches for the apricots

NOTES : I use orange oil instead of the orange extract.
These are really excellent.
