Onion Bagels Recipe

How to make it

---

• Put the ingredients in the order listed above into your bread machine baking pan.
• Set the program to dough.
• When the cycle has finished, transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 equal sized pieces.
• Shape each piece into a sausage shape with tapered ends measuring about 9 inches in length.
• Working with a piece at a time, join the ends together to make a circle.
• Then pinch them gently to seal them.
• Place the circles on a lightly oiled cookie sheet, leaving enough room between them for each to rise.
• Cover the circles with a clean dish towel and leave them to rise for about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 .
• Finely chop enough onion to make a 1/4 cup. Saute in a bit of butter.
• Put the onions aside.
• Bring a large pan of water to boil.
• Add the sugar and stir the water until the sugar is dissolved.
• Place 2 bagels in the boiling water and let them cook for about 30 seconds on each side.
• Continue until all bagels have been in the water for a total of 1 minute.
• Turn them with a slotted spoon.
• Lift each bagel out of the water, gently shaking it as you do so to remove as much water as possible.
• Return the bagels to the baking tray.
• Beat the egg yolk with the water, then brush this mixture over each of the bagels.
• Sprinkle the sauted onions over the bagels.
• Bake the bagels in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until they are golden.
• Transfer the bagels to a wire rack and leave them to cool.
