2 cups milk, scalded
1 TBSP dry active yeast
½ cup warm water
½ cup sugar
1 ½ tsp. salt
¼ cup canola oil
3 cups white flour
3 cups wheat flour
¾ tsp. baking powder
Scald milk, set aside and allow to cool. Dissolve yeast in warm water, then add sugar, salt, warm milk and oil. Mix together, then add half the flour. Cover and let rise 40 minutes. Add remaining flour and baking powder. Knead until dough forms a smooth ball. Pat into 9x15 rectangle, cut into bagels using a bagel cutter or a large cup. Let rise 30 minutes. Boil in water for 30 seconds on each side, then drain on a cooling rack. Sprinkle with toppings (cinnamon sugar, cheese, etc.) then bake on cookie sheet at 400 F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Freezes well.

These are perfect for sandwiches or just to snack on. From the freezer they stay light and chewy. For a dairy free recipe, water or rice milk can be used instead of scalded milk. Recipe adapted from Making the Best of Basics: Family Preparedness Handbook.
If you have more time, this other bagel recipe is fantastic! Because they rest in the refrigerator for a day, they have more time to develop a better flavor.

Where did you find your bagel cutter? I think I would LOVE these!
I bought the bagel cutter at Orson Gygi- that store is the best! Until you get the bagel cutter, you can cut them out with a large cup, then poke a hole in the middle of the dough with your finger.
about how many bagels do you get from this recipe? I bought a bagel cutter last night!
That's great you got a bagel cutter- I'm excited for you to make a batch!
I got 14 bagels from the batch I made this afternoon (I make these every week!). It varies from 13-16 depending on how thick your dough is when you cut out the bagels. If I do a lot of cinnamon sugar bagels I make them a little thinner but if I'm making them mostly for sandwiches or toast I like them a little thicker.
These are amazing! I have been searching for years for a recipe that would come out this good! Thank you so much for posting it!! :) My family can't get enough of these!
Ann- I'm so glad to hear that you've enjoyed the bagels. Thanks for letting me know!
