Breadmaker Bread--or Bagels!
1 cup warm water (about 100 degrees)
1/2 tsp. sugar or honey (to activate the yeast)
2 1/2 tsp. yeast
1 cup gluten flour
1/2 cup ground flax seed (use small coffee grinder)
1/2 cup soy flour
1/4 cup oat flour (grind rolled oats)
1/4 cup wheat germ (or wheat bran)
1 tsp. salt
2 pkts Splenda
1-2 tbsp. sunflower seeds (opt.)
1-2 tbsp. pumpkin seeds (opt.)
Place water into breadmaker pan and sprinkle sugar and
yeast into it. Allow to stand while combining other
ingredients in bowl. Add these to the water mixture and
set machine for 1 1/2 pound loaf cycle. Add sunflower
seeds & pumpkin seeds (or other nuts, etc.) toward the
end of the kneading phase. If available on your machine,
a 2-hour cycle works quite well. Measure out dry
ingredients for a second loaf (mix!) at the same time.
A slicing machine will make nice thin slices if you
freeze the loaf for an hour or two first.
I developed this recipe for the bagel feature on my
breadmaker (Breadman ProArtisan), and it will make 12
nice chewy bagels, but I noticed that the rising dough
looked like a perfect loaf of bread, so I use it more
often for that. To make bagels, divide kneaded dough
(which has been allowed to rise 30 min.) into 12 pieces
(very stretchy, so may need to cut with a sharp knife).
Shape each piece into a ball, stretching the "skin"
around it as much as possible to make a smooth surface.
Cover & let rise until doubled. Gently (this is a
trick!) pull and press a hole in the middle of each
bagel. Rest a little longer & bring 3 quarts of water to
a boil, adding a little malt syrup or sugar (ugh!).
Reduce heat to a simmer and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Gently lower each bagel into hot water & simmer 1 min.,
turning over in middle. Place on baking sheet, greased
and/or sprinkled with cornmeal. You may sprinkle bagels
with poppy seed, onion bits, sesame, etc., as well as an
egg-white glaze. Bake until done, maybe as long as 25-30
min., though these are smaller than the recipe from
which I took these directions. Have fun! My breadmaker
takes care of those details for me.
