      Title: BAGELS 2
 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 30 Servings
 
      8 c  Flour
      1 tb Salt
      1 tb Sugar
      2    Cakes fresh yeast
      2 c  Lukewarm potato water *
    1/4 c  Salad oil
      4    Eggs; slightly beaten
      2 tb Sugar
      2 qt Boiling water
           Poppy seed or sesame seed
           -(optional)
 
  * (Water which peeled potatos have cooked in. Plain water may be
  used, but it's not as good.)
     Sift together dry ingredients.  Soften yeast in 1/3 of potato
  water. Add to flour.  Add oil to remaining potato water and stir into
  the flour mixture.  Add eggs and stir briskly to form a ball of
  dough. Knead on a lightly floured board for 10 minutes.  (This MUST
  be a firm dough) Add more flour if necessary.  Return to the
  bowl--smooth side up. Cover with a towel (tea etc) and let rise at
  room temperature until the dough rises to the top of the bowl.  Knead
  again on a lightly floured board until smooth and elastic (as for
  rolls). Pinch off pieces of dough and roll between the palms of the
  hands to form ropes about 6 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. Pinch
  the ends together firmly to make a doughnut shape.
   Add sugar to boiling water.  Drop bagels into water one at a time.
  As they come to the surface, turn them over. Boil 1 minute longer on
  the second side.  Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 450 F.
  until the crust is golden brown and crisp--10 to 15 minutes. Bagels
  may be sprinkled with poppy seed or sesame seed before baking if you
  like.
