A 60 minute rise period is ideal. It's ok to open the machine and quickly test the dough during the rise period. Gently push your finger into the dough, and if the dent remains, dough is ready. If the impression bounces back, let dough rise a few minutes longer and retest. Dough can become slack if allowed to rise too long.
White flour rises highest.
White flour combined with whole wheat, rye and oats will not rise as high. Generally, the darker the dough, the lower the rise and the longer it takes. When ready, remove dough form the pan and proceed to Shape Bagels . Receive e-mail when we add new recipes. Send mail to PastryWiz with comments about this web site.
