BAGELS 7

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
—–DOUGH—–
1 1/2 ts Yeast
2 c Bread flour
1 1/2 tb Sugar
1 t Salt
3/4 c Water
1 tb Barley malt syrup
—–TOPPINGS—–
2 tb Poppy seeds, sesame seeds,
-kosher salt, minced onion

From “The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever”, by Madge
Rosenberg 1. Add all ingredients for the dough except
the barley malt syrup in the order suggested by your
bread machine manual and process on the dough cycle
according to the manufacturer’s directions.

2. at the end of the dough cycle, remove the dough
from the machine. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In
a large pot bring 2 quarts of water to a boil.

3. While the water comes to a boil, divide the dough
into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a roll 12 inches
long. Make a circle of each piece, overlapping the
ends by at least an inch and pressing or rolling the
overlap tightly to seal. Let the bagels rise for only
5 minutes.

4. Add the malt syrup to the boiling water. (The
syrup gives the bagels their golden color.) Lower a
few bagels at a time into the boiling water. As soon
as the bagels rise to the top, remove with a skimmer
or spatula to a lightly greased baking sheet.
Sprinkle about 3/4 tsp. of any of the toppings over
each bagel and bake 20 minutes, or until golden.

Title: Brownies
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 32 servings

Erious chocolate brownies

This is an adaptation of the “Scrumptious Brownies” recipe found on a box
of
Baker’s
unsweetened chocolate. I’ve reduced the amounts of sugar and flour from
the
original,
which I find makes for a very fudgey brownie.

INGREDIENTS (32 brownies)

8 oz unsweetened chocolate (8 squares)
1/2 lb butter
5 eggs
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)

PROCEDURE
Grease a 13×9 inch pan and pre-heat oven to 375 deg. F. Melt the chocolate
and the
butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk until
smooth. Set aside
to cool while beating eggs.

Beat the eggs, sugar and vanilla at high speed for a full 10 minutes.

Blend in the chocolate-and-butter mixture at low speed.

Add flour, beating just to blend. Stir in walnuts, if desired. Bake 30 to
35
minutes. Do
not overbake. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the
center comes
out slightly dirty. Cool in pan, then cut into squares.

RATING:
Difficulty: easy to moderate. Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour cooking
and cooling.
Precision: measure the ingredients.

2-in. diagonal strips. Divide sliced onion between 4
butter plates, place 1 tsp. plum sauce on each plate.
