Ingredients

1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1-1/4 cups warm milk (110 ° to 115 °)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg yolk
3-3/4 to 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Sesame or poppy seeds, optional

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add the butter, sugar, salt and egg yolk; mix well. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Shape into 12 balls. Push thumb through centers to form a 1-1/2-in. hole. Stretch and shape dough to form an even ring. Place on a floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes; flatten bagels slightly.
Fill a Dutch oven two-thirds full with water; bring to a boil. Drop bagels, two at a time, into boiling water. Cook for 45 seconds; turn and cook 45 seconds longer. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain well on paper towels.
Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400 ° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
