Preparation
 
STEP 6: BAKE

Place bagels on a shelf just below the middle in a preheated 400F.
oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops are a nice
golden brown.

BAKING SURFACES:

Bake the bagels on a baking sheet. The easiest surface available to
most home cooks is an aluminum cookie sheet or flat Teflon-coated
sheet pan. Coat with a little oil and sprinkle very lightly with
yellow cornmeal to prevent bagels from sticking. Or line the pan with
parchment paper; it eliminates the use of oil and cornmeal and
cleaning pans.

Bake the bagels on wooden boards (described earlier in directions).
Place bagels on the boards bottom side up to form a crusty bottom,
and flip them off the board after 2 or 3 minutes onto a stone or
sheet to continue baking.

Bake the bagels directly on a baking stone or tiles. Place the stone
or tiles on the lowest rack. Or line a baking sheet with the tiles
and place that on the lowest rack. Preheat the oven, with stone or
tiles inside, to 400F. for 1 hour before baking. Sprinkle cornmeal on
the stone or tiles. Transfer unbaked bagels to the hot surface with a
wooden peel (a long-handled wooden paddle used in baking), or any
flat instrument with a long handle so you don t burn yourself; wear
heavy padded gloves.

Do not wash or immerse stone or tiles in cold water while they are
hot; they may crack. Soak the cooled stone or tiles in cold water and
scrape with a spatula. Do not use soap, as the surfaces tend to
absorb soap, which will be imparted to the bagels. Stones and tiles
will discolor, but that won t affect their baking ability. Don t
place a hot stone directly on your kitchen counter; depending on the
material, the heat could leave a mark.

Steam baking gives bagel tops a crisp crust and extra shine. Create
steam during the first few seconds of the baking by spraying the
sides of the preheated oven with water from a spray bottle when you
place the bagels inside. Place a heavy pan in the lower part of the
oven bottom while it is heating. Place the bagels in the oven and
then pour cold water or half a dozen ice cubes into the pan.

STORING AND USING BAGELS:

Bagels are best when they re eaten fresh from the oven while still
warm. Because they don t usually contain egg or milk, they tend to
dry out faster than breads that contain these ingredients. If you
can t consume all the bagels in a reasonably short time, freezing
them is recommended. It s smart to slice them horizontally before
freezing so you can toast only half at a time, if you wish.

Thaw bagels on the kitchen counter in a plastic bag for about 15
minutes or toast directly from the freezer. Or zap them in the
microwave oven for about 1 minute on DEFROST and then toast them
until lightly browned on top. Microwaving too long will make them
tough.

What if a few bagels get stale? Put them into your blender or food
processor and grind them into bread crumbs. None of the tasty bread
need ever go to waste!
