Bread Machine Cinnamon and Raisin Bagels – Regular Size Bat

Recipe By : More Electric Bread
Serving Size : 5 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Abm Breakfast
Electric Bread Bread

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1/3 cup raisins — pre-soaked ***
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup water — lukewarm
2 cups white bread flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

*** Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Toss wi
th cinnamon and sugar, then place in the machine with the rest of the ingredien
ts.

1. Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer’s instruction
s. Remove the dough from the machine after the first knead – approximately 20
to 30 minutes.

2. Place dough on a floured surface. Divide into 5 parts. Form balls, gently
press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel shape.

3. While bagels rise, bring three quarts of water and one tablespoon of sugar
to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Drop test dough (see hints below).

4. Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water. Boil on
each side for 1/2 minutes. Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with egg
and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.

5. Bake at 400 on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden – appro
ximately 15 minutes.

** Bagel Success Hints

** When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4″ balls of dough. When the bagels
have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water. The dough shoul
d pop to the top right away. When this happens, it is time to boil the bagels.

** A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be
substituted for the egg wash.

** To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a straight line
. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a pinch of garl
ic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above direction
s.

** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices. B
ruish with butter or margarine on one side. Lay (butter side up) on an ungreas
ed cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.

Title: Peaches – Halved or Sliced
Categories: Fruits, Canning
Yield: 1 recipe

Quantity: An average of 17-1/2 pounds is needed per canner load of 7
quarts; an average of 11 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A

pounds per quart.

Quality: Choose ripe, mature fruit of ideal quality for eating fresh or
cooking.

Procedure: Dip fruit in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds until skins
loosen. Dip quickly in cold water and slip off skins. Cut in half,
remove pits and slice if desired. To prevent darkening, keep peeled
fruit in ascorbic acid solution. Prepare and boil a very light, light,
or medium syrup or pack peaches in water, apple juice, or white grape
juice. Raw packs make poor quality peaches.

Hot pack — In a large saucepan place drained fruit in syrup, water, or
juice and bring to boil. Fill jars with hot fruit and cooking liquid,
leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Place halves in layers, cut side down.

Raw pack — Fill jars with raw fruit, cut side down, and add hot water,
