Bagels

1 cup warm water
3 cups of bread flour
2 TBS white sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 TBS sugar
1 TSP cornmeal
1 egg white
Toppings (optional) - shredded asiago cheese, dried onion flakes, course salt, poppy seeds,cinnamon sugar...


Add the first 5 ingredients to Bread Maker in the order listed, by manufacturer. Set on Dough Cycle. When complete, place dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape into 8-10 balls, flatten them, and then poke hole in the middle. (Make it big, because dough will rise.) Cover bagels with a clean dish towel, and let rise, about 30-60 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil. Dissolve 3 TBS of sugar in boiling water. Sprinkle an ungreased cookie sheet with cornmeal. Heat oven to 375.
Transfer bagels to boiling water. Boil for 1 minute, turning halfway through. Remove bagels and place on dish towel to drain.   Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet. Glaze top with egg white.  (Here is where you will add the toppings if you want them on your bagel...)  Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
