DOUGH
1 1/2 tsp yeast
2 cup bread flour
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp barley malt syrup
TOPPINGS
2 tbsp poppy seeds, sesame seeds, kosher s, alt, minced onion
Directions
From "The Best Bread Machine Cookbook Ever", by Madge Rosenberg 1.
Add all ingredients for the dough except the barley malt syrup in the
order suggested by your bread machine manual and process on the dough
cycle according to the manufacturer's directions.
2. at the end of the dough cycle, remove the dough from the machine.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large pot bring 2 quarts of
water to a boil.
3. While the water comes to a boil, divide the dough into 8 pieces.
Roll each piece into a roll 12 inches long. Make a circle of each
piece, overlapping the ends by at least an inch and pressing or
rolling the overlap tightly to seal. Let the bagels rise for only
5 minutes.
4. Add the malt syrup to the boiling water. (The syrup gives the
bagels their golden color.) Lower a few bagels at a time into the
boiling water. As soon as the bagels rise to the top, remove with a
skimmer or spatula to a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle about
3/4 tsp. of any of the toppings over each bagel and bake 20 minutes,
or until golden.

The History of Recipes
We can trace the history of `recipes` back into antiquity, in fact as far as the early Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, sadly, these old recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.
Progressing into Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a collection of scripts showing how to cook the recipes prepared by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and dessert, a style of dining still practiced today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times used many herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as basil, mint and parsley. Later on in the 1400s, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as rosemary and coriander. These new foods and tastes caused a surge in recipe manuscripts, many of which are now in academic collections. The introduction of the TV brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
