Do you get tired of me giving recipes for bread machines? Because I don't get tired of using them. Just remember that if you don't have a machine you can make up the dough in traditional methods very satisfactorily, it just takes a LONG TIME. A looooong time. But still the kneading by hand process can be satisfying. Rumor has it . . . wouldn't know about that myself.Anyway, this is probably the favorite bread recipe in the house--a homemade bagel is a joy to all.
1 ½ cup water
4 ½ cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons yeast
12 ounces cheddar cheese, cubed into 12 pieces
Combine all the ingredients except the cheese in your bread machine in the order they're listed. Set the machine to the "dough" cycle then let it go.
After the dough is ready divide it into 1 dozen equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and poke your finger through the middle, stretching it out to make a circle such as you'd expect from a bagel. Let the dough rise on a floured surface. After rising 30 minutes, add each bagel to boiling water mixed with 1 tablespoon sugar and boil for 2 minutes--one minute on each side--then remove with a slotted spoon and drain thoroughly before placing it on a greased baking sheet with a cub of cheese on top of the bagel.
Bake at 420 15-20 minutes or until the bagels are golden brown.

I noticed Bleeding Espresso had her bagel fix going as well this week so you can pop over to her site and see how she does hers.

mmmmmm, bagels! Our favorite thing to eat topped with cheese and a fried egg. I'll have to try making our own!
I haven't made bagels in years! And you can't buy them here, so I think I'm going to try these...
Wow. Wow. Wow.
This looks so good.
Thanks for the recipe. I use the dough cycle on my bread machine all the time - can't wait to try this out.
I have never made bagels but now I really want to give it a try. Especially as bagels are not sold where we live.
LOVE my bread machine and can't wait to give this one a try.
Thanks for the recipe!!!
Sounds delicious! I have never made bagels. I do love my bread machine, though. I could try these.
MMmmmmm They sound delicious. Saved another of your posts!
I'm fairly new to the breadmachine world and these look delicious!
I'm definately going to give it a try!
I have always been on the fence about getting a bread machine. Now you've got me wanting one. :)
ACK! That makes me want a bread machine!
I have to try this. I LOVE warm cheese bagels with whipped cream cheese. And I haven't had a decent bagel since I left the west coast.
Sounds yummy. I have a question about the yeast. I don't keep "active dry" yeast in the house. My personal bread recipe uses rapid rise/quick rise yeast, and when I buy the jar at the store, I buy "bread machine" yeast. Can I use that?
Yum! Too bad I gave away my bread machine!
Thank you from my little baker and I .Nothing like quality Mother & Daughter Time in the kitchen..
i got rid of my breadmachine a loooong time ago becuase it was taking up space. these sound worth it:-)
this is on the to do list for this week...
Anything that is oozing cheese looks like a winner to me!
Our bread machine gave up the ghost, but I used to help my mother make bread. I don't mind the kneading part (that sort of thing is actually therapeutic for my arthritis), but there's no place in our house that's warm enough to make the dough rise properly. I'm still experimenting. But these bagels make me want to make another try!
These look simply delish.
Yum yum yum. And yum :)
