INGREDIENTS

• 4 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 cups hot water (120° to 130°F)
• 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
• 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon water

DIRECTIONS

• Combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Stir in hot water and honey; beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; continue to work in flour until dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes). Cover with bowl. Let rest 15 minutes.
• Divide into 12 equal parts. Shape each into a flattened ball. With thumb and forefinger poke a hole into center. Stretch and rotate until hole enlarges to about 1 or 2 inches. Cover; let rise about 20 minutes.
• Boil water in a large shallow pan, about 2 inches deep. Reduce heat. Simmer a few bagels at a time about 7 minutes. Remove from pan; drain on a towel about 5 minutes. Place on a baking sheet; brush with mixture of egg white and water.
• Bake at 375°F 30 minutes, or until done.
• To serve, split and toast. Spread with butter and jam or cream cheese.
