Bagels

400gr flour
15gr yeast
20 cl milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 table spoons melted butter
poppy seeds, sesame seeds

put yeast in warm milk
separate white from egg yoke, beat up white a little

in a bowl mix flour with salt, in center of flour add yeast mix, salt, sugar, melted butter and beaten egg white. mix and then knead for around 10mn until it's nice and elastic. let it rest for three hours under something, and in a warmish place.

kead again a little, then cut in two, make two longish rolls that you can cut up in ten slices (altogether, not 20...) make a little hole in the center, you can be cool and make it turn around your finger and then two fingers. anyway, it's supposed to look like a bagel, not a ball or a rubik's cube. let it rest 45mn again.

heat up the oven to 200 °C
plunge the bagels three by three (or four) in boiling water for 30 seconds.
then place them on your oven pan thing. '(that's been oiled)
put the egg yoke (diluted with a little water) on the bagels.
then the various seeds.
stick in oven for 20 mn or so.
I had to broil them a little to get a nicish colour.
