Recipe: Hawaiian Bagels [edit]

Step 1

Place ingredients in the bread machine in the order listed. Add the pineapple and coconut 5 minutes before the end of the Kneading phase or work into the dough before shaping. Use the dough setting. Or stop the machine after the rises.

Step 2

Prepare the baking sheets or use nonstick sheets.

Step 3

Remove dough from the machine, punch it down, and roll it out into a rectangle about 14 x 18. Divide into equal pieces and shape into bagel form or use a cutter. Place the bagels on the sheets and let them rise again. I put them in the oven to provide a draft free location.

Step 4

This rise can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours depending on what else is going on in your life.

Step 5

Fill a 4 to 6 qt soup pot with water 3 to 4 " deep. You can add 2 T of malt syrup, honey, sugar or non-diastatic malt powder. Get the water to boiling.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 400.

Step 7

Drop the bagels one at a time into the boiling water. Boil only 3 or 4 at a time so they don't crowd. Simmer each side for a minute and return to the baking sheet.

Step 8

Add glazes or toppings as desired.

Step 9

Bake just below the middle of a preheated 400 degree oven. The book calls for 20 to 25 minutes. I usually start at 15 minutes for the 1st sheet and less for the second.
