The ingredients for Homemade Bagels are:

4c Bread Flour
1 packet rapid rise yeast
1T salt
1T malt powder or syrup (not malted milk powder) OR 1T brown sugar
2T vital wheat gluten (optional - makes the bagels chewier)
1.5 c warm water (or enough to make a stiff but workable dough)

Here is how you make Homemade Bagels:

Put warm water into the bowl of stand mixerAdd 1C flour, then malt/brown sugarAdd 1C flour, then saltAdd 1C flour, then glutanAdd 1/2C flourAttach dough hook and knead on low speed to bring ingredients together, adding more flour 1T at a time until a stiff dough forms. Knead for 8 minutes.Place dough in a warm, draft-free location in a bowl sprayed with cooking spray. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1.5 hours.Gently deflate, cut into 5oz pieces. Form each piece into a bagel (roll into a ball, flatten the ball, then push through the center with your thumb and smooth out the shape). Let rise for at least 30 minutes.Preheat oven to 425 and prepare a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment.Bring a wide pot of water to a boil. Add 1T malt powder/syrup to the water. Lower each bagel into the water and let boil for about 1 minute on each side, then remove to a towel to dry before placing on baking sheet. (I use a deep frying pan that can hold about 4 at a time - the water doesn't have to be deep.)Bake bagels 22 minutes. Remove, and cool.I cut them in half and freeze them, then toss one in the toaster each morning. It toasts and defrosts all at the same time, and cutting them in advance (then putting them back together) makes it easy!VARIATIONS:- Brush tops with egg white and dip into whatever toppings/seeds you like. - Mix in part whole wheat flour (in which case you definitely want the gluten and will need to let them rise longer).Serving Size: makes 7 ~5oz bagels (based on weight of dough before cooking)Number of Servings: 7Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MISANTHROPIC777.
