Samples of Bagel Bread Machine Recipe

Pass the Bagel, Please.
If you enjoy Hanukkah and love eating kosher foods then you'll definitely welcome the taste of bagel.

Bagel rooted from Eastern European-Jewish tradition of baking. It is a Jewish bread that is shaped into rings and thrown to boiling water before cooking which gives it the chewy and sheen property that most people love.

Tips

To make nice bagels, Jews practice experimentation first to see if the time is proper to continue cooking. This is done by setting aside sample pieces of bagel dough that should be boiled prior to cooking the whole batch. The ideal size is ¼" balls that will be thrown into the boiling water. Once the bagel doughs pop up to the water surface that signals the proper time to let them all boil.

To substitute for the egg wash, you can make use of non-stick vegetable coating.

Though round bagels are more popular, you still can shape them into sticks. The same procedure follows only differing in the part of forming the bagels.
