Bread Machine Bagels

I have yet to try, but i love bagels. They are versatile, so you can use any topping you like! I'm going to use either garlic or onion.

Place water , salt , sugar , flour and yeast in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.

Select dough setting.

When cycle is complete , let dough rest on a lightly floured surface.

Meanwhile , in a large pot bring 3 quarts of water to a boil.

Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar.

Cut dough into 9 equal pieces , and roll each piece into a small ball.

Flatten balls.

Poke a hole in the middle of each with your thumb.

Twirl the dough on your finger or thumb to enlarge the hole , and to even out the dough around the hole.

Cover bagels with a clean cloth , and let rest for 10 minutes.

Sprinkle an ungreased baking sheet with cornmeal.

Carefully transfer bagels to boiling water.

Boil for 1 minute , turning half way through.

Drain briefly on clean towel.

Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet.

Glaze tops with egg white , and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.

Bake in a preheated 375f oven for 20 to 25 minutes , until well browned.
