mmmmm bagels

High gluten flour 6#
Pure gluten 5 oz
Water 3# 8 oz
Yeast, instant 1 oz
Malt 1 oz
Salt 2oz
Egg for egg wash 1-2
Poaching liquid (2 gallons water, 6 oz honey, 2 oz baking soda)
(I divided this recipe by a third)

Oven at 450

Mix yeast and water, let proof for a few minutes
Throw that in the KitchenAid and start mixing in the flour/gluten.
Autolyse
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until you get a windowpane.
Let rise
After it has risen, divide it into 4 oz balls


Then using your fingers, poke holes in the balls and flatten them out. Make them... you know...bagel-like


Let them rest for a few minutes while the poaching liquid comes to a boil. Once it does, reduce it to a simmer.

Throw the proto-bagels in the liquid (as many as you can fit at a time) and simmer for 1-2 minutes each side.



Store them on a clean towel until they are ready to bake. When you are ready, brush with egg wash and hit the baking sheet with some oats. Bake until brown.


And of course, pay homage to the princess
