   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- to 4 1/4
      1/4         ounce  active dry yeast
   1           teaspoon  salt
      3/4           cup  2% milk
      1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- cubed
      1/4           cup  olive oil
   1              large  egg -- room temperature
   3        tablespoons  warm water -- (110F to 115F)
   3        tablespoons  molasses
      1/2           cup  sesame seeds -- toasted

These bread treats from my Turkish heritage are commonly eaten for 
breakfast. They are not boiled as regular bagels are but dipped in 
molasses and sesame seeds, which gives them a chewy texture similar 
to that of the bagels we know and love. -- Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. In a small 
saucepan, heat milk, butter and oil to 120F-130F. Add to dry 
ingredients; beat on medium speed 2 minutes. Add egg; beat on high 2 
minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 
minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. 
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350F. Punch down dough. Divide and shape into 8 
balls. Push thumb through center of each, stretching and shaping to 
form an even ring with a 2-in. hole. Place on a floured surface. 
Cover with a kitchen towel; let rest 15 minutes.

In a shallow bowl, whisk warm water and molasses. Place sesame seeds 
in a separate shallow bowl. Dip bagels in molasses mixture, then roll 
in seeds to coat.

Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until golden 
brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
