BAGELS
There's nothing in this world like a chewy bagel -
smothered with cream cheese and lavished with lox.
Bagels join the melting pot of ethnic foods Americans call
their own. Yet they remain unique in the realm of yeast
breads. A lot of kneading makes them chewy, and boiling
them in barley malt syrup gives them their shine. Pile on
the seeds, salt or onions - and mazeltov!

BAGELS (cont'd.)
[] Bring 3 quarts water to boil in a large pot. Stir in
1 tablespoon barley malt syrup.
[] Remove dough from Bread Machine; place on a lightly
floured surface. Cut dough into 9 equal pieces. Roll
each into a smooth ball. Flatten balls, and poke a hole
in the middle of each with your thumb. Next twirl the
dough to enlarge the hole and even out the dough
around it. Cover bagels with a kitchen towel, and let
rest for 10 minutes.
[] With a large metal spatula, carefully transfer bagels to
boiling water, three at a time. Let boil for 1 minute,
turning bagels over midway. Remove bagels from
water with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a clean
towel. Transfer drained bagels to baking sheets
sprinkled with corn meal, four to five bagels per sheet.
[] If desired, glaze tops of bagels with egg white and
sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds, course salt
and!or reconstituted dry onions. Bake bagels in
375°F preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until
well-browned.
