Bagels(Water Doughnuts) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 Tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 oz. dry yeast (2 pkg.)
3 3/4 c. flour, sifted
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 c. hot water
1 egg

Preparation

Mix the oil, sugar and salt with the hot water. When it cools to lukewarm, add the yeast to dissolve.
Beat the egg until frothy. Add it to the liquid and then mix in the flour.

Place on baking sheets and bake in
a 400\u00b0 oven until crisp and golden, about 15 minutes.
