FANTASTIC BAGEL RECIPE :)

Homemade bagels taste better!

People think that making outstanding bagels at home is really difficult, but it's really no harder than making a loaf of bread...and can be done within about an hour.
Don't be discouraged if your bagels look at bit funny at first, you'll get the hang of it in no time, and those curiously shaped bagels will still beat supermarket bagels hands down.
What makes a bagel different from other breads is the two stage cooking process. A bagel is first briefly boiled, and then baked.

Homemade bagel recipe makes 8 (4pp) or 16 (2pp)
4 cups bread flour
1 Tbls sugar replace by using no calorie sugar such as splenda
1 1/2 tsps salt (low sodium)
1 Tbls vegetable oil
2 tsps instant yeast
1-1/4- 1-1/2 cups of warm water.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. You don't have to worry about soaking the yeast when you use instant yeast (most yeast sold these days is instant yeast).

The dough should feel stiff, but add the extra water if it's really stiff, or you can't get all the dry flour incorporated.

Plop the dough down onto the counter, and knead for about ten minutes, or until the dough is uniform and smooth.

Cut the dough into 8 equal sized balls, and let rest for 10-20 minutes.

Pre heat your oven to 425f or 220 celcius

Now, take each of the dough balls and using two hands, roll it into a little snake on the counter.
When the snake is longer than the width of your two hands, wrap it around your dominant roiling hand.
The dough rope should be wrapped so the overlapping ends are together at your palm, near the start of your fingers.
Now take the two overlapping ends, and use your palm to squish/roll these two ends together.
Once the dough is fused, you should have a perfectly circular bagel-to-be!

This is the only part of the process that can take a little practice before your bagels will look really professional. Don't get discouraged if they don't look perfect, it just takes practice!

Let your bagels rest on the counter for about 20 minutes, and meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil, and grease a large baking tray lightly (low-fat-spray).

After the 20 minute wait, your bagels will start to look puffy, and it's time to get them boiling!

Add them as many at a time as you can to your boiling water without crowding them.

Boil for about a minute, turn them over, and boil for another minute. Take them out a let dry for a minute and then place them on your oiled baking tray. Repeat until all the bagels are boiled. (if u want any sesame or poppy seeds this is the time to put them on just put the seeds on a plate and carefully put the wet bagel onto the plate press gently and put in tray with seeds side down to bake)

Add the tray to the oven, and after 10 minutes, flip the bagels over, bake for another ten minutes; and they're done!

Let them cool for at least 20 minutes, get the low fat cream cheese ready, and feast on what's got to be one of the best breakfasts possible!

You can add any toppings you like to these. To make sesame, onions, poppy seed, caraway etc. etc. bagels just have a dry plate ready with the seed or spice topping spread out on it. After the bagels have come out of the boiling water, place them face down onto the seeds, and then place the seed side up onto the baking tray. Bake and flip as for plain bagels.
 
fried egg is 2 pp for medium egg and 3 for large and low-fat spray is 1pp per 4 sprays :)

cant wait to try these bagels :) yum.. any tips on how to get them to rise though? i tried a while ago to make cinnamon rolls and the dough barely did anything, idk if it was too cold in the kitchen or what :( yea it was a sad day... i was really looking forward to those babies lol
 
put them in a bowl or plate when they are rising and cover with slightly wet (clean) teatowel this way the dough wont dry out and the heat of the yeast gets trapped in the bowl making them rise further :D
 
Thank you :D

hey there lady!.. dont be nervous!!! im sure you did great.. i was way nervous before mine, i could barely sleep, and i was way surprised i lost. but Youre so motivated, and youre doing everything right so im sure youll do fine.. and if you are the same/a bit more.. dont forget that your body is building a layer of muscle when you first start really exercising. ive been exercising for a month, and im just now really getting the results, but i feel stronger and i have more stamina.. so go off of how you feel, just as much if not more than what that little demon of a scale has to say lol.
i really do hope that you are able to go to your meeting.. i know that you really enjoy them :cry:. but i know that if you cant you wont let that stop you from doing your very best this week!
we are parteners in this!! a team.. oooraaah!! lol YES WE CAN!

so that pizza recipe..... lol yeah i read it right as i was eating a slice of the bad stuff lol.. i was like nOOOOOO!! :p yea i thought i should have a treat yesterday, i cant deny myself or im just gonna want it that much more lol. ooo and im should be getting some yeast tomorrow to make some bagels! very excited.:D i have quite a bit of copying to do of you recipes lol.
O i hyperlinked youre diary to a few people earlier cause they were saying they find it hard to think of meals and i said you were awesome with youre sensible recipes :) hope you dont mind buddy lol.

sry you arent feeling well either :( i hope you are feeling a bit better today... by a bit of course i mean all the way better lol chat to you soon
 
Good luck for weigh in tomorrow :)..don't be nervous, you'll be okay :)..if you need to pay to weigh...could you go along to your nurse at your local surgery and asked to be weighed there?

i weigh myself at home, but my nurse also weighs me next day..keeps me focused and on track...and costs nothing!..you could also pop into your class and be weighed there also, say twice a month?...though different scales do give different results..my nurse's scales always make me lighter than my own!!! hee hee

Good luck :)
