The word integrity means wholeness, completeness, or consistency. Derivatives of the word penetrate the vocabulary of many professions. In mathematics, we call whole numbers “integers,” and calculus uses integral equations. School integration meant we bused school children across towns seeking racial consistency. Engineers design structural integrity into our buildings, bridges, and airplanes, or their lack of integrity creates catastrophe in the news. Most recently, the lack of financial integrity in certain types of insurance and investments has brought turmoil where we expect soundness. In Scripture, when God appeared to Isaiah in chapter 6, Isaiah realized his own lack of integrity by confessing that he was undone, or in other words, he disintegrated.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/8	c	Water; lukewarm
3	c	White bread flour; +1 tablespoon
3 1/3	tb	Brown sugar
1	ts	Salt
3/4	ts	Onion powder
1 1/2	ts	Dried onions; pre-soaked ***
3 1/4	ts	Active dry yeast

INSTRUCTIONS

*** Presoak 1/4 cup dried onions in 1/3 cup warm water for 10 minutes.
Drain and press water from onions. Place specified amount of pre-soaked
onions in the machine with the rest of the ingredients. Save the rest to
sprinkle on top of the bagels before baking.
1. Insert ingredients in bread machine according to manufacturer's
instructions. Remove the dough from the machine after the first knead -
approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Place dough on a floured surface. Divide into 8 parts. Form balls,
gently press thumb through center of ball and slowly stretch into bagel
shape.
3. While bagels rise, bring three quarts of water and one tablespoon of
sugar to a rapid boil in a large saucepan. Drop test dough (see hints
below).
4. Using a slotted spoon, drop 2-3 bagels into rapidly boiling water. Boil
on each side for 1/2 minutes. Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with
egg and sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds, if desired.
5. Bake at 400 on a baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal, until golden -
approximately 15 minutes.
** Bagel Success Hints
** When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls of dough. When the
bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water. The
dough should pop to the top right away. When this happens, it is time to
boil the bagels.
** A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may
be substituted for the egg wash.
** To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a straight
line. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a pinch
of garlic powder. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above
directions.
** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin
slices. Bruish with butter or margarine on one side. Lay (butter side up)
on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes until golden
brown and crisp.
