Total Time
2 hours
Container: baking sheets, large pan
Serving Description: 1 bagel
Directions
  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
  • Put flour, salt and sugar into food processor and pulse to blend. (Or mix together by hand in a bowl).
  • With processor running, add yeasted water all at once and mix for about 30 seconds, until dough forms a  single mass. If it's too runny to form a mass, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time. If too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time.
  • Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for several minutes, adding a little more flour if necessary to make a firm dough.
  • Put dough into a bowl large enough to allow for rising, cover with plastic bag or damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. (Time will vary with temerature)
  • When dough is risen, preheat oven to 400 and bring 2 quarts water to boil in a pot wide enough to hold 2 or 3 bagels without crowding. Add 2 tablespoons sugar to boiling water.
  • While oven  and water heat, punch dough down and divide as evenly as possible into 12 pieces. Shape the pieces into balls. Flatten each ball into a disc about 3 inches across and poke a hole in the center. Use your hands to enlarge the hole and shape the dough.
  • When the oven is hot and the water boiling, starting with the bagels that were shaped first, slide 2 or 3 into the boiling water. Adjust the temperature tro maintain a simmer or slow boil, not a hard boil, and cook for 2 minutes, turn over and cook for another 2 minutes. Lift out carefully and drain on a rack. Sprinkle on topping seeds or salt, if using.
  • Arrange bagels on greased baking sheet with enough room so they aren't touching and bake until lightly browned and crusty, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from sheet and cool on a rack.

I bet you bought sauerkraut in the closest supermarket to make hot dogs. It is sour (very sour) with lots of liquid in a bag. Generally sauerkraut sold in stores is not to my taste, I guess you noticed it. Maybe there is nothing wrong with it, but I just love sauerkraut with cranberries, onions, and sunflower/or olive oil. It is the best winter dish for the family. It is great for Christmas too. It is light and goes great with meats and mashed potatoes or fish. All in all you will love it at first bite because this is the best one you will ever eat!
