Apricot bagel

Recipe By : The Best Bagels are made at home Dona Z. Meilach
Serving Size : 15 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bagels Machine
Yeast

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 1/8 cups water
2 teaspoons orange extract — optional
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons malt powder — or honey / sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon wheat gluten — optional
2 teaspoons yeast
3/4 cup dried apricots — diced

Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Use the dough
setting. Add the apricots 5 minutes before the end of the kneading phase or
work
into the dough before shaping. If you don’t have a dough setting stop the
machine after the rises.

Prepare the baking sheets or use nonstick sheets.
Remove dough from the machine, punch it down, and roll it out into a rectangle
about 14 x 18. Divide into equal pieces and shape into bagel form or use a
cutter. Place the bagels on the sheets and let them rise again. I put them in
the oven to provide a draft free location.

This rise can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours depending on what else is
going on in your life.

Fill a 4 to 6 qt soup pot with water 3 to 4 " deep. You can add 2 T of malt
syrup, honey, sugar or non-diastatic malt powder. Get the water to boiling.

Preheat the oven to 400.

Drop the bagels one at a time into the boiling water. Boil only 3 or 4 at a
time so they don’t crowd. Simmer each side for a minute and return to the
baking sheet.

Add glazes or toppings as desired.

Bake just below the middle of a preheated 400 degree oven. The book calls for
20 to 25 minutes. I usually start at 15 minutes for the 1st sheet and less for
the second.

These are best eaten while they are still warm. They can be frozen – you may
want to slice them first so you can defost them in the toaster.

Serving Ideas : for peach bagels sub dried peaches for the apricots

NOTES : I use orange oil instead of the orange extract.
These are really excellent.

SHERON’S BISCUITS

4 c. White Lily self-rising flour
1/2 c. lard
1 3/4 – 2 c. buttermilk
bacon grease

Cut lard into flour. Stir in buttermilk, being careful not to
overmix. The dough should be fairly wet and sticky. Sprinkle
extra flour over the dough in the bowl to keep dough from sticking
to your hands. Form rough lumpy biscuits with your hands. Grab a
lump of dough – about the size of a lemon? – and quickly pat it
into a rough biscuit about 3 inches in diameter and about 1/2-3/4
inches thick by bouncing it back and forth lightly between your
hands. Do not handle dough any longer than absolutely necessary.
Repeat, sprinkling more flour over dough as necessary. You will
get 12 largish biscuits from this recipe if you do it right. Place
biscuits side by side on baking sheet – they should be touching.
They should fill up a jelly roll pan. Bake at 450F for 15 – 20
min. or until golden brown.

each sprayed cup, reserving remaining layers. Arrange
