How to make organic bagels

Organic bagel ingredients:

4 cups of organic flour

1 package of organic yeast (Rapunzel Rize Organic Active Dry Yeast)

1 cup water (105-115)

4 Tbsp organic sugar (Private Selection Organic Cane Sugar)

2 Tbsp organic olive oil

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

2 Organic eggs

2 Quarts of water

1 Organic egg yolk

Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of warm water.

In large bowl, combine organic flour, 2 Tbsp organic sugar, organic oil, sea salt and organic eggs. Mix until smooth.

Turn dough onto floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. (Want it to be elastic, not sticky). Place the dough ball into a oiled bowl and cover with dish towel. Let rise until doubled in size about 45 min to 1 hour.

Punch down dough and cut into 16 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball and insert a finger in the middle to make the bagel hole. *NOTE- make sure the bagel hole is larger than you might think because as the dough rises the hole gets smaller. Cover the bagels and let rise for about 20-25 minutes.

Heat 2 quarts of water in large pot or Dutch oven. Boil the bagels 4 at a time (more or less depending on the size of your pan. You do not want them to touch.) Repeat for all the bagels. Lay them onto a towel to drain.

Place the boiled bagels onto a greased cookie sheet and brush with the beaten organic egg yolk. You can also add seasonings at this point if you'd like. *NOTE-Fresh garlic and fresh onion toppings came out much nicer then the dried versions we tried.

Bake at 375 for approx 30 min until brown.

NOTE- bake on the middle rack- too low and the bottoms burn and too high and the tops scorch.
