Ingredients

    1 package active dry yeast
    1 cup warm water (105 to 115º)
    2 tablespoons sugar
    1 ½ teaspoons salt
    2 ¾ cups all-purpose or unbleached flour (Do not use self rising)

Directions

Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water in large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar, salt, and ¼ cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Place in greased bowl; turn greased side up. Cover; let rise in warm place until double, about 15 minutes. (Dough is ready if an indentation remains when touched.)

Punch down dough; divide into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a rope 6 inches long; Moisten ends with water and pinch to form a bagel. Or shape each part into a smooth ball; punch hole in center and pull gently to enlarge hole and make uniform shape. Let rise 20 minutes. Heat oven to 375º.

Heat 2 quarts water to boiling in large kettle. Reduce heat; add 4 bagels. Simmer 7 minutes, turning once. Drain on kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining bagels, simmering 4 at a time. Bake on greased baking sheet until bagels are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes; cool. Serve with cream cheese and lox, or toast and spread with marmalade (optional.)
