Bagels

I got this recipe from my Mom. The girls loved helping make the bagels. They learned it’s important to pinch them together really well to keep them in bagel shape. 

3 tbsp yeast

2 cups water

4 tbsp sugar

3 tsp salt

8 cups flour (if whole wheat do 6 cups whole wheat and 2 white)

4 eggs

4 tbsp canola oil

Dissolve yeast in hot water, stir in sugar let sit for 10 min.

Then mix in flour, eggs and oil. Knead for 10 min then rise until it doubles (about 45 min).

Shape into 30 bagels and let rise 20 min

Preheat oven to 375

Fill big pot with water and boil bagels for 4 min. 

Beat an egg with 1 tbsp water and brush the top of the bagels 

Bake 20 min
