12 Bagels
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups warm water
- 1 cup pizza cheese
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 4 1⁄2 cups flour
- 3 1⁄2 teaspoons bread machine yeast
- 1 egg white
- 4 tablespoons cornmeal
directions
- Combine water, cheese, sugar, salt, flour, and yeast in the bread machine. I let the cheese kind of melt into the water for a minute before adding the remaining ingredients. Use the dough setting on your bread machine. If you machine doesn't have a dough setting stop it after the second kneading.
- Remove the dough after it has finished rising in the bread machine and divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball.
- Using fingers, poke a hole in the middle and form into a bagel shape.
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Let rise under a wet tea towel or paper towels for 30 more minutes.
- While bagels are rising, start boiling a large pot of water with 3 TBS of sugar.
- After bagels have risen boil each side for 30 seconds, place on dry paper towels to dry before transferring to cornmeal dusted pan. (I divide them between 2 jellyroll pans).
- Use a pastry brush to brush the egg whites on top of the bagels.
- You can sprinkle extra cheese on top of bagels for a caramelized cheese crunch.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Turning the pans halfway for even baking.
- Cool for 5 minutes on wire rack and enjoy!
