Easy Bread Machine Bagels Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 5 tablespoons white sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• water for boiling
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal
• 1 large egg white, beaten
• 3 tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Add flour, water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, yeast, and salt to your bread machine in the order specified, or follow your bread machine manufacturer's recommended order. Run the 'Dough' cycle, about 90 minutes.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into nine equal pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball and flatten it into a circle. Poke a hole in the center of each circle with your thumb, then place them back onto the floured surface. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
5. In the meantime, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Sprinkle cornmeal on an ungreased baking sheet.
6. Stir 3 tablespoons of sugar into the boiling water. Carefully transfer two bagels at a time to the boiling water, working in batches and turning them halfway through, for about 1 minute. Drain briefly on a clean towel, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the bagels are golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes.
