    Here you go and all you have to do to get Ann's wonderful cookbook is ask her. She shares. You might try emailing through GW.

    Bagels

    Source: Hors d'oeuvres Cook Book.
    I have typed it exactly how the recipe is printed in the book. If you
    have a bread machine or kitchenaide by all means use it to do most of
    the kneading. I always like to finish the kneading by hand. You can
    also make these in to normal size bagels. I have used this recipe for
    over 20 years. I have tried other recipes but this is my favourite one.
    2 cups warm water
    2 packages active dry yeast
    3 tablespoons sugar
    1 tablespoon salt
    about 5 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
    3 quarts water with 1 tablespoon of sugar
    Cornmeal
    1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon water
    about 2 tablespoons poppy or sesame seeds.
    . Stir together water and yeast in large bowl of electric mixer; let stand
    5 minutes to soften yeast. Stir in the Sugar and Salt. Gradually mix in 4
    cups of the flour and beat at medium speed for 5 minutes. With a
    spoon, stir
    in about 1 1/4 cups more flour to make a stiff dough.
    turn out on a floured board and knead until smooth, elastic, and no
    longer
    sticky, (about 15 minutes); add more flour as needed to prevent
    sticking -
    dough should be firmer than for most other yeast breads. Place in a
    greased
    bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled ( about
    40
    minutes to 1 hour).
    Punch dough down and divide into thirds. Set 2/3 of dough aside on a
    floured
    board; cover with clear plastic. form remaining 1/3 dough in a log and
    cut
    into 16 equal pieces.

    To shape, knead each piece into small ball and poke thumbs through
    centre.
    With one thumb in hole (hole should be at least 1/2 inch) work fingers
    around perimeter, shaping ball into a small donutlike shape about 1 1/2
    inches in diameter. Place bagels on a floured board or tray and let
    stand 20
    minutes.
    Bring water-sugar mixture to a boil in a 4 to 5 quart pan; adjust heat to
    keep it boiling gently. Lightly grease a baking sheet and sprinkle with
    cornmeal. Lift bagels carefully and drop into water (about 6 at a time)
    boil gently for 1 minute turning only once (30 seconds each side). Lift
    out
    with slotted spoon and drain very briefly on paper towels, and place on
    baking sheet. Brush with 1/3 of the egg yolk glaze, sprinkle with seeds
    and
    bake in a 400° oven for 20 minutes or until richly browned. cool on
    racks.
    Repeat with remaining 2/3 dough (you may need to punch it down
    before
    shaping,) working with 1/3 at a time. Makes 48 cocktail size bagels.
