 Categories: None
      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      4 c  Sifted flour;, up to 5
      1    Tblsn yeast
      2 ts Salt
  1 1/2 c  Hot tap water
      1    Egg white
      3    Tblsns cold water
           Poppy or sesame seeds
 
  Combine 4 cups of flour with yeast and salt. Mix until yeast is
  uniform throughout. Add 1.5 cups of hot water and need the dough for
  5 minutes using the remaining 1 cup of flour (if necessary). Make
  into a large ball and let rise for 10 min. Separate the dough into 8
  pieces and poke a small hole and begin to shape into a bagel. Let the
  bagels rise for 20 min. Fill a skillet with 1.5 to 2" of water and
  let the bagels simmer in the water for 7 min (you can also use a
  dutch oven for this). Transfer to a cookie sheet. Combine egg white
  and cold water and brush on bagels. Sprinkle poppy or sesame seeds.
  Bake in a preheated oven for 30 min at 375º.
  
  I haven't tried this yet but you can add raisins (1 cup should do) at
  the start of the recipe.
