Bread Machine Bagels

Here's my recipe for bagels. 

Because of my food intolerances it makes it very difficult for me to find store bought bagels. And my wonderful husband found a recipe online! 

Bread Machine Bagel

Ingredients:

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons white sugar

3 cups bread flour

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

3 quarts boiling water

Directions:

Place water, salt, sugar, flour and yeast in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough setting.

When cycle is complete, let dough rest on a lightly floured surface. Meanwhile, in a large pot bring 3 quarts of water to a boil

Cut dough into 9 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a small ball. Flatten balls. Poke a hole in the middle of each with your thumb. Twirl the dough on your finger or thumb to enlarge the hole, and to even out the dough around the hole. Cover bagels with a clean cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.

Carefully transfer bagels to boiling water. Boil for 1 minute, turning half way through. Drain briefly on clean towel. Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet covered with cooking spray.

Bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until well browned.

After I take the dough out of the machine it gets weighed and divided up equally into 9 bagels.
