HERE’S A BAGEL RECIPE #2

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
***** NONE *****

Once the dough has risen, turn it onto your work
surface, punch it down, and divide immediately into as
many hunks as you want to make bagels. For this
recipe, you will probably end up with about 15 bagels,
so you will divide the dough into 15 roughly
even-sized hunks. Begin forming the bagels. There are
two schools of thought on this. One method of bagel
formation involves shaping the dough into a rough
sphere, then poking a hole through the middle with a
finger and then pulling at the dough around the hole
to make the bagel. This is the hole-centric method.
The dough-centric method involves making a long
cylindrical “snake” of dough and wrapping it around
your hand into a loop and mashing the ends together.
Whatever you like to do is fine. DO NOT, however, give
in to the temptation of using a doughnut or cookie
cutter to shape your bagels. This will pusht them out
of the realm of Jewish Bagel Authenticity and give
them a distinctly Protestant air. The bagels will not
be perfectly shaped. They will not be symmetrical.
This is normal. This is okay. Enjoy the diversity.
Just like snowflakes, no two genuine bagels are
exactly alike.

Begin to preheat the oven to 400 degrees Farenheit.

Once the bagels are formed, let them sit for about 10
minutes. They will begin to rise slightly. Ideally,
they will rise by about one-fourth volume… a
technique called “half-proofing” the dough. At the end
of the half-proofing, drop the bagels into the
simmering water one by one. You don’t want to crowd
them, and so there should only be two or three bagels
simmering at any given time. The bagels should sink
first, then gracefully float to the top of the
simmering water. If they float, it’s not a big deal,
but it does mean that you’ll have a somewhat more
bready (and less bagely) texture. Let the bagel
simmer for about three minutes, then turn them over
with a skimmer or a slotted spoon. Simmer another
three minutes, and then lift the bagels out of the
water and set them on a clean kitchen towel that has
been spread on the countertop for this purpose. The
bagels should be pretty and shiny, thanks to the malt
syrup or sugar in the boiling water.

Once all the bagels have been boiled, prepare your
baking sheets by sprinkling them with cornmeal. Then
arrange the bagels on the prepared baking sheets and
put them in the oven. Let them bake for about 25
mintues, then remove from the oven, turn them over and
put them back in the oven to finish baking for about
ten minutes more. This will help to prevent
flat-bottomed bagels.

Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks, or on a
dry clean towels if you have no racks. Do not attempt
to cut them until they are cool… hot bagels slice
abominably and you’ll end up with a wadded mass of
bagel pulp. Don’t do it.

Serve with good cream cheese.

TO CUSTOMIZE BAGELS: After boiling but before baking,
brush the bagels with a wash made of 1 egg white and 3
tablespoons ice water beaten together. Sprinkle with
the topping of your choice: poppy, sesame, or caraway
seeds, toasted onion or raw garlic bits, salt or
whatever you like. Just remember that bagels are
essentially a savory baked good, not a sweet one, and
so things like fruit and sweet spices are really
rather out of place. Submitted By

2 tb Oil, vegetable
28 oz Tomatoes, whole; blended

-cut into 1/2 inch wedges
1/2 c Cheese, cheddar (2 oz);
-shredded (optional)
2 lb Stew meat, boneless (option)
2 c Chicken mixture; (optional)
-from Chicken Flautas recipe

1. Cook onion, garlic, and stew meat (if using as
main course), in oil in Dutch oven until onion is
tender but not brown; drain well. Add tomatoes (with
juice) to Dutch oven with remaining ingredients except
tortillas and cheese.
2. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 1
hour.
3. Add tortillas; continue simmering 10 minutes.
Ladle into soup bowls; sprinkle with cheese and serve
with additional picante sauce.

Makes 6 to 8 servings, about 9 cups soup.

**NOTE: This is so delicious, no one will believe how
easy it is to make. My “variations” are listed as the
“OR” in ingredients…found it to taste the same. I
usually don’t even mess with the tortillas and cheese.
It tastes wonderful served with “Chicken Flautas”…or
just make the chicken as indicated in the Flauta
recipe (except chunk the chicken) and just toss into
this soup! I think this could also easily be adapted
to crockpot!

Note from Pace: This spicy, tortilla-topped soup owes
its authentic south-of-the-border flavor to PACE
picante sauce and slow, siesta-like simmering. Source:

Using two pieces from the leek top and some kitchen twine, make a bouquet
garni: place your favorite herbs (pick mild ones: the stock should taste
like chicken, not chicken soup; fresh parsley is always a safe choice) on
one piece of the leek top, cover with another piece, and tie together.
Set aside.

Wash and peel the carrot, and wash the leek and celery stick. Cut into
medium dice. In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat, then
add the diced vegetables and stir, letting them soften but not brown.
Add the chicken bones and cook for another minute or two. Pour in white
vermouth and bring to a boil. When the vermouth starts boiling, add water
to the pot, until the chicken bones and vegies are completely covered.
Return to a boil, then lower the heat, and frequently skim off and discard
the foam that rises to the surface. After 10 minutes of simmering, add the
bouquet garni and the onion. Cook for 2 more hours, maybe 2 1/2. (You
might need to replenish some water as cooking progresses.)

Line a strainer with cheesecloth. Place over a large bowl and ladle the
stock into the strainer, so that all the vegies and bones are removed and the
stock is saved. Press the bones with the ladle to extract as much of their
flavor as you can.

That gets you a stock. For a strong stock, I’d take an ordinary one and
boil it down, until it’s reduced to 1/2 its original volume.

Set for dough cycle.Let the machine knead the dough once, and then
let the dough rise for only 20 minutes in the machine. Even if your
cycle runs longer, simply remove dough after 20 minutes and turn off
the machine. Divide the dough into the appropriate number of pieces.
Each piece should be rolled into a rope and made into a circle,
pressing the ends together. You may find it necessary to wet one end
slightly to help seal the ends together. Place these on a well
greased baking sheet, cover and let rise only 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring to a slight boil in a “nonaluminum pan”, (Donna
German uses a cast iron frying pan) about 2 inches of water.
Carefully lower about 3 or 4 bagels at a time into the water, cooking
for about 30 seconds on each side. Remove bagels, drain on a towel,
sprinkle with poppy seeds, sesame seeds or dried onion bits if
desired and place on the greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated
550 degree oven for 8 minutes. This recipe is from Donna German’s
first Breadmachine Cookbook, pages 160- 161.
