Combine 4 cups of flour with yeast and salt. Mix until yeast is uniform
throughout. Add 1.5 cups of hot water and need the dough for 5 minutes
using the remaining 1 cup of flour (if necessary). Make into a large ball
and let rise for 10 min. Separate the dough into 8 pieces and poke a small
hole and begin to shape into a bagel. Let the bagels rise for 20 min. Fill
a skillet with 1.5 to 2" of water and let the bagels simmer in the water
for 7 min (you can also use a dutch oven for this). Transfer to a cookie
sheet. Combine egg white and cold water and brush on bagels. Sprinkle poppy
or sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven for 30 min at 375º.
I haven't tried this yet but you can add raisins (1 cup should do) at the
start of the recipe.
