Hawaiian bagels

Categories : Bagels Machine
Yeast

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/8 cups water
1 teaspoon coconut 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
1/2 cup dried pineapple — diced
5/8 cup dried coconut — shredded or flaked

Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Add the pineapple
and coconut 5 minutes before the end of the Kneading phase or work into the
dough before shaping. Use the dough setting. Or 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.

NOTES : These are really excellent.

2 tb Vegetable oil 1/2 ts Leaf oregano

FILLING

May be frozen. Defrost in the fridge, on the way to a picnic or in
the microwave if you want them in a hurry.

Combine water and yeast in mixer bowl and let stand 5 minutes. Add
all purpose flour and mix at medium speed for another 4 minutes. Turn
the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times,
form into a ball and place in a well-greased mixing bowl. Turn the
ball over to grease the top, cover with a cloth and let stand at room
temperature to rise until doubled in volume.

While the dough is rising, cook the meat and onions over medium heat,
stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and the meat is
browned. Drain. Discard fat and juice, return meat and onions to the
pan. Add tomato sauce, catsup, seasoning and cook over medium heat
until the meat is dry with no noticeable liquid. Set meat mixture
aside to cool until dough is ready.

After the dough has doubled in volume, transfer it to a lightly
floured working surface. Knead lightly. Form into a roll and cut
into 12 equal portions. Form each portion into a little ball, cover
with a cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.

Roll each ball out to form a circle 5 to 6 inches across. Put about
1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the center of the circle. Pull the
dough up around the filling and press together at the top. Place on
a well greased cookie sheet, cover with a cloth and let stand about
30 to 40 minutes at room temperature or until doubled in volume. Bake
at 350 F for 40 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and firm.

Title: Cold Noodles in Spicy Peanut Sauce
Categories: Entrees, Chinese, Pasta, Usenet
Yield: 4 Servings

2 tb Garlic, minced (fresh)
3 tb Coriander, minced
-(fresh)
1/2 c Peanut butter
5 oz Soy sauce, light
5 tb Sugar
Rice wine (between
-1/2 t to 1 T)
1 tb Hot bean paste
-(up to 2 T)
1 tb Sesame oil
1 lb Lo mein noodles (other
-noodles will do,
-such as ramen noodles,
-or even spaghetti)

Cook the lo mein according to directions. Let cool. Mix the rest of the
ingredients. Peanut butter doesn’t mix very well, so for a few minutes
you’ll think you’ve made a mistake. Don’t worry, just keep stirring until
it’s smooth. Add the sauce to the noodles.

Hot bean sauce also goes by the name Szechuan bean sauce etc. This is the
main “spicy” ingredient and should be handled with care. Vary this
ingredient to taste. This recipe is probably very good without it. It’s
also quite good served when the noodles are still hot.

NOTES:

* Mildly spicy cold noodles — I first had this at Brandy Ho’s in
Chinatown, San Francisco. I forget where I found the recipe.

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 10 minutes preparation, 5 minutes cooking.
: Precision: no need to measure.
