  each side for  1/2 minutes.  Remove and cool on rack 1 minute, brush with egg

 ** 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 shoul
 d 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 garl
 ic powder.  Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above direction
 s.
 
 ** To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices.  B
 ruish with butter or margarine on one side.  Lay (butter side up) on an ungreas
 ed cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
