Bagels made with the Bread Machine

Perfect for Sunday Morning!!  Fresh Bagels!!

I discovered that my bread machine was in the cabinet in our huge pantry, and had forgotten about it for years.  Well we have been cranking out the fresh rolls, potato bread and of course Bagels!  I found a recipe on the web http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/bread-machine-bagels/Detail.aspx.  Here is our bounty this morning!

Cooling on the rack

Poppy Seed

Sesame Seed

Garlic and Onion Bagel

Now you might say “where are the holes?”  Well, they were there and as they where raising, they kind of closed up.  We did not mind.  I made 6, two of each.  We baked them only 20 minutes on parchment paper which is my favorite way to bake anything.  YUM!  We both made a sandwich for lunch with them.  My next post will show that beauty!

Now, if you have these gadgets just hanging out in the back of the cabinets, PULL THEM OUT!

I just use the “Dough” setting as I love the smell and I think the machines kind of over bake things.  Made Parker House rolls for dinner last weekend to serve with Swedish Meatballs over Pasta.  Turned out great!  We had company so there was no pulling out the Nikon for those shots, next time.

Just follow the recipe link and they will turn out perfect!!  I made just 6 as the recipe says they will make 9.  They would be very tiny.  Sprinkle with any toppings that suit you and bake them at 375 for about 20 minutes.  You will be very glad you did!
