Ingredients: 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 packages active dry yeast 1 1/2 cups warm water (110o to 115o) 3 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar Oven 375o
Method In a large mixer bowl combine 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the yeast. Combine warm water, the 3 tablespoons sugar, and salt. Pour over flour mixture. Beat at low speed of electric mixer 1/2 minutes, scarping bowl. Beat 3 minutes at high speed. Stir in as much remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Cut into 12 portions; shape into a smooth ball. Punch a hole in the center of each. Pull gently to make a 1 1/2 to 2-inch hole. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover; let rise 20 minutes. Broil 5 inches from heat 3 to 4 minutes, turning once (tops should not brown). Heat 1 gallon water and the 1 tablespoon sugar to boiling; reduce heat. Cook 4 to 5 bagels at a time for 7 minutes, turning once; drain. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in a a 375o oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Makes 12.
