Ingredients and Weight:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115°F)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg yolk, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Cooking Time:
25-30 minutes
Difficulty Level:
2 (Easy)
Preparation Method Steps:
- Add the warm water, yeast, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Add the flour and vegetable oil. Set the machine to the "Dough" cycle.
- Once the dough cycle is complete, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead briefly to form a smooth ball.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape into bagels by rolling each piece into a rope about 12 inches long. Bring the ends together and pinch to seal.
- Place the bagels on a greased baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the bagels with the egg wash.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
