2 c. warm water
1 T. honey
1 T. molasses
1 T. yeast
2 t. salt
5 c. all purpose flour

Let yeast melt into warm water and bubble (about 5-10 minutes). Add to mixer honey, molasses, salt and flour. Mix on high for 5 minutes. Auto-knead for 10-12 minutes. Dough should be heavier than regular bread dough. Let rest and rise in bowl for 45-60 minutes. Take out and cut into 12 equal pieces. Roll into balls. Poke thumb in middle to create a hole. Twirl dough around finger until you have a bagel. Let rest on lightly floured surface for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring large pot of water to a boil. Add 3 T. sugar. Place bagels in boiling water for 1 minutes, flipping once. Place on large cookie sheet with parchment paper, covered with ground cornmeal. Preheat oven to 400*F. Brush bagels with whipped egg white. Sprinkle with desired toppings. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
