Answer 1

Ingredients:
3 cups warm water (110°F.)
4 T. dry yeast
7 1/2 cups bread flour
6 T. sugar
2T. salt
a large (12") frying pan filled with boiling water and 1 T. malt syrup or sugar
glaze:
1 egg white, beaten with a fork until frothy
2-4 T. sesame or poppy seeds to decorate
Yield: 12-18 bagels, depending on how large you like them
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Mix warm water and yeast in a measuring cup. Let it sit 1 minute until creamy. Put flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the plastic blade (or in a large bowl if you are doing this by hand), turn on the motor, and add the yeast mixture. If the liquid is not quickly incorporated, turn off the motor, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and continue to process. Process (knead) the dough until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes by hand or 2 minutes in food processor). Put the dough in a clean bowl, covered with plastic, to rise for about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare a large frying pan with boiling water and sugar or malt, let simmer. It's worthwhile trying to find the barley malt syrup. It gives a darker color and nutty flavor to the crust of the bagels.

When the dough has risen, turn it onto a flour-dusted surface, punch down, and divide into 12-18 pieces (depending on the size you want). Shape each of these pieces into a bagel as follows: roll the piece of dough into a smooth ball, press a hole with your thumb through the center of the ball, with thumb and forefinger, smooth the rough edges, pulling the dough slightly away from the hole to form a torus.

By the time you are done forming all the bagels, the first ones will be ready to boil. Have a slotted spoon or Chinese skimmer ready. Put 3 or 4 bagels at a time into the boiling water, and leave them for 30 seconds. If they don't immediately rise to the top of the water, use a spatula to release them from the bottom of the pan. Turn them carefully with the skimmer or spoon, and continue to boil on the other side for 15 seconds. Remove from the pan, using the skimmer or spoon, drain briefly, and put on a greased baking sheet. When all the bagels have been boiled, brush them with the glaze and sprinkle generously with seeds.

Bake at 425° for 25-30 minutes, turning at the half-way point, until brown but not overdone. Place on a rack to cool. Freeze if bagels are to be kept longer than a day.

Answer 2

Below is a link for a recipe for sourdough bagels. Keep in mind that bagels are not easy to make, so you're not going to find a really easy recipe that gives you real bagels.

One of the keys to good bagels is to use high protein flour. The higher protein is needed to hold the bagels together through the boiling. Bread flour is an acceptable substitute, but most bakeries use a flour with an even higher protein content. You may be able to find a bakery that will sell you some high protein flour. I've also seen it in U-Bake stores (which sell a lot of bulk baking suplies in addition to frozen bread (and bagel) doughs, cookies, pies, etc.).
