John found a recipe for bagels last week and sent it to Jack (his brother). Jack promptly made them and absolutely RAVED about how great they are. I took a day off today and decided it was a good time to do them. It's not that they take a long time or are difficult or anything - but today I had time to fiddle around in the kitchen. Wow. I used the bread machine on manual cycle to make the dough. Then divided it into 6 fairly equal pieces, rolled it in a ball and stuck my finger through the middle to make it look like a doughnut. You drop the doughnuts in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then bake for about 20 minutes. We use parchment paper for all our baking. The recipe called for a lightly greased cookie sheet but the parchment works great and there is no mess. We will definitely do this again! I thought it might be an issue eating them plain - I usually like cream cheese or peanut butter on mine - but they were soooo good. Not an issue at all. :)
