Ready In:: 2hrs 30mins
Ingredients:: 8
Yields:: 20 bagels
Serves:: 20

ingredients

2 (1/4 ounce) packages active dry yeast (not fast acting)
2 cups warm water
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
6 cups flour
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons dry onion flakes (optional)

directions

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add 2 Tbs. sugar and salt, dissolve.
Then lightly beat in the two eggs and stir well.
Add 4 cups of flour, stirring to make a smooth thin dough.
Lastly, add remainder of the flour to make a stiff dough.
Knead dough for 15 minutes and set aside to rise for 40 minutes.
Divide the risen dough into 20 equal parts and knead each separately to form a small ball. Push a flowered finger through the middle of each ball (one at a time) of dough and twirl it around your finger to make a bagel circle with a 1 to 1 1/2 inch hole. The outer diameter should be about 3 inches.
Let the bagels rise one more time for 20 minutes.
Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add 1 Tbs. of sugar to it.
Drop 4 - 5 bagels (no more) and boil for 4 minutes, turning each carefully.
Remove with a slotted spoon and dry on a paper towel.
Mix the egg yolk with 1 Tbs. water and beat well. Then brush with this mixture using a pastry brush.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven on a heavy cookie sheet for 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
I like to add onion flakes to my dough, but it is optional. :) Jazz it up a bit! Or not!

Hi! Jelly here! My husband and I live on the Great Plains in the coldest state (feels like it) in the country. My husband and I farm. We grow hard red spring wheat and soy beans. I raise chickens and turkeys too! I have a love for gardening (flowers, veggies, fruits, and berries) and canning, freezing, jelly making, preserving, drying herbs, cooking and baking! These are my passions! I am an avid reader and I like to write and I collect quotes and short poems. And I have a new passion or should I say "Addiction"! ZAAR!!!!! Love you all! We have a golden retriever pup! Our baby! :) Her name is Maisy! 75 pounds!!!!Also, have nine kitties - Sarah, Sebastian, Midnight, Henry, Sam, Star, Garfield, Lilly, and Zeus! Our area is rural and we have a 45 min. drive to the nearest city. It is a long trip there and back! We try to be as green as possible and recycle. We have become very conscientious of our environment. It is our children's future. We carry our our own canvas shopping bags to the market and use a cooler that we keep in the trunk or back of the pickup. No more plastic! We love life on the farm and feel very fortunate to have had so many wonderful experiences in life. Done a lot of traveling and feel satisfied. We make and bottle our own wines. They are delicious! This year's wine is working in the carboys in the basement and should be a great batch. We picked late and they were very sweet and required very little sugar. Got the jelly made and sent some to relatives and friends! It has been a tough season this year....sigh... Soybeans and wheat are harvested and in the bins! Now we hope the market is in our favor! Christmas was quiet as we had a blizzard that immobilized the state for three days...bah humbug...it took us another three days to dig out! Okay. I've had enough snow for the winter!!!! Oy vey.... A little prayer for mankind - Dear God, Bless us all in the New Year...may we have the crops to feed everyone and full bellies, good jobs, roofs over heads and a peaceful world for everyone. This is all I ask for the New Year ahead. Amen. Always, Jelly <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://w490.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/d065f045.pbw" height="300" width="400"> <img src="http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/Zaar%20Icons%20and%20Greetings/gs2009jane.jpg"> <img src ="http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u208/diner_photos/lazymecookathon.jpg"> <img src="http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/Birthday%20and%20Celebration%20Images/spicesswap_amtag3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/AMpageSticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/i-connected-125.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/RSC%20Lucky%2013/ParticipationSticker.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg">
