  • Elon is totally right though?

    The Jews are a tight knit community of kind hearted, helpful people, but none of them will give me their bagel recipes, even when I scream at them at traffic lights.

    They can't keep getting away with this.

      "Ingredients

      About 1/2 cup warm water

      1 1/2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, plus a drop more to grease the dough

      1 egg, lightly beaten

      1 1/2-2 Tbs sugar

      1 1/2 tsp salt

      1 envelope of yeast

      3 1/2 cups (500g) bread flour

      1 egg white, to glaze

      Directions

      In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar well. Then mix in the egg and the oil and add the water gradually, working it in with your hand — enough to make a soft dough that holds together in a ball. Add more water if necessary, or more flour if it is too sticky.

      Turn the dough out and knead on a floured board for 10‑15 minutes, until it is very smooth and elastic. Grease the dough all over by putting a drop of oil in the bowl and rolling the dough around in it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in bulk.

      Punch the dough down and knead again briefly. An easy way of shaping the bagels into rings is to roll out the dough to a rectangle about 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) thick and cut it into 11 equal strips with a pointed knife. Roll each strip between your palms into a rope about 7 inches (18 cm) long and 1/2 inch (1 1/2 cm) thick and bring the ends together, pinching them to seal and form a bracelet. Place the rings on an oiled surface, and let them rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

      Bring plenty of water to a boil in a wide pan, then lower the heat to medium. Slip in 4 bagels at a time. Boil them for 1‑2 minutes, turning them over once as they rise to the top. Then lift them out quickly with a slotted spoon and place them on a cloth to dry. Do the same with the rest of the bagels. Arrange on oiled baking sheets, brush with egg white, and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 15‑20 minutes, until nicely browned."

      We cool now?
