More breads, rolls, & even bagels!

So, January was an intense month, with trying to stay warm, get back into the groove with homeschooling lessons, and find more recipes! I did start a new group on the Cafemom social website for Bread Machine Moms, and while searching recipes for the group, I found several things that I wanted to try. They turned out pretty good and were fairly easy to do, so I'm passing them along!

Keep in mind, these are all made using a bread machine, most of them just used the dough cycle.




Basic bagels

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 3 cups bread flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 quarts boiling water
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal
• 1 egg white
• 3 tablespoons poppy seeds

Directions

1. Place water, salt, sugar, flour and yeast in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough setting.
2. When cycle is complete, let dough rest on a lightly floured surface. Meanwhile, in a large pot bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar.
3. Cut dough into 9 equal pieces, and roll each piece into a small ball. Flatten balls. Poke a hole in the middle of each with your thumb. Twirl the dough on your finger or thumb to enlarge the hole, and to even out the dough around the hole. Cover bagels with a clean cloth, and let rest for 10 minutes.
4. Sprinkle an ungreased baking sheet with cornmeal. Carefully transfer bagels to boiling water. Boil for 1 minute, turning half way through. Drain briefly on clean towel. Arrange boiled bagels on baking sheet. Glaze tops with egg white, and sprinkle with your choice of toppings.
5. Bake in a preheated 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until well browned.

Parmesan French Bread

• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 1/4 c. bread flour
• 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast
• cornmeal
• vegetable oil
• 1 egg white
• 1 Tbsp. water
• sesame seeds

Add first 6 ingredients to the bread machine in order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle and allow to complete.

Cinnamon Rolls:

DOUGH
3/4           cup  milk
3        tablespoons  water
1              large  egg
1/4           cup  buter
3/4      teaspoon  salt
3 1/3           cups  bread flour
3        tablespoons  sugar
2          teaspoons  bread machine yeast
FILLING
1/2           cup  toasted nuts -- chopped
1/4           cup  brown sugar -- packed
1 1/4      teaspoons  ground cinnamon
2        tablespoons  butter
GLAZE
3/4           cup  powdered sugar
1/2      teaspoon  vanilla extract
4          teaspoons  milk

Add dough ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order suggested
byyour manufacturer. Select the dough/manual cycle. When cycle is
complete, remove dough from machine to a lightly floured surface. If
necessary, knead in enough flour to make dough easy to handle. If dough is
too elastic, cover and let rest for 10 minutes before shaping. Meanwhile,
for filling, mix together the nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon and butter.

Divide dough in half. Roll half of dough into a 9x8-inch rectangle. Spread
with half of the filling mixture. Beginning at long end, roll up tightly
like a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal. With sharp knife, cut into 6 equal
slices. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Place all the rolls, cut
sides up, into one greased 9x9x2-inch
baking pan.

Cover dough and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until almost doubled
in size, 20 to 30 minutes. Bake rolls at 350F for 25 to 30 minutes or
until done. Cool slightly; remove from pan. Drizzle Glaze over warm rolls.
Serve warm.
