Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup water -- lukewarm
2 tablespoons water -- lukewarm
3 cups white bread flour
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 tablespoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon allspice
3 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1. Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer's
instructions. Remove the dough from the machine after the first
knead - approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Place dough on a floured surface. Divide into 8 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 - approximately 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 should 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 garlic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake
as described in the above directions.
** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin
slices. Bruish with butter or margarine on one side. Lay (butter
side up) on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15
minutes until golden brown and crisp.
