Tips for Baking Bread

Start as early as you can, it will take aprox. 1.5 hours for the dough to double its size.
Make sure your water is the correct temperature, ideally 40-46 deg C (105 deg F to 115 deg F).
If the water is too warm it will kill the yeast, too cold and the yeast will not rise correctly.

Don't try to rush things, wait for the dough to rise properly before putting it in the oven.

Kneading the Dough

Dust your work area with flour, place the dough on the surface and dust with more flour.

Start from the part of the dough closest to you and use the heel of your hands to push down and away from you.
Turn the dough 90% and take the far end of the dough and fold it in towards you.
Push it down and away from you. Repeat this process until the dough feels smooth and stretchy and no longer sticks to your fingers.

Bagels 2

Ingredients

8 cup flour
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
2 cakes fresh yeast
2 cup lukewarm potato water *
1/4 cup salad oil
4 eggs, slightly beaten
2 tbsp sugar
2 qt boiling water
1 poppy seed or sesame seed (optional, )

Preparation

* (Water which peeled potatos have cooked in. Plain water may be
used, but it's not as good.)
Sift together dry ingredients. Soften yeast in 1/3 of potato
water. Add to flour. Add oil to remaining potato water and stir into
the flour mixture. Add eggs and stir briskly to form a ball of
dough. Knead on a lightly floured board for 10 minutes. (This MUST
be a firm dough) Add more flour if necessary. Return to the
bowl--smooth side up. Cover with a towel (tea etc) and let rise at
room temperature until the dough rises to the top of the bowl. Knead
again on a lightly floured board until smooth and elastic (as for
rolls). Pinch off pieces of dough and roll between the palms of the
hands to form ropes about 6 inches long and 3/4 inches wide. Pinch
the ends together firmly to make a doughnut shape.
Add sugar to boiling water. Drop bagels into water one at a time.
As they come to the surface, turn them over. Boil 1 minute longer on
the second side. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 450 F.
until the crust is golden brown and crisp--10 to 15 minutes. Bagels
may be sprinkled with poppy seed or sesame seed before baking if you
like.
