POTATO BAGELS

Steps:

• Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a simmer and cook until a fork pokes easily into the potatoes; begin checking for doneness at about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water in a medium bowl. Rice the potatoes and set aside.
• Add 1/2 cup cool water to the bowl with the hot cooking water; the temperature of the water should even out to warm (105 to 110 degrees F). If it's too cold, microwave it a little; if it's too hot, let it sit for a few minutes to cool. Add the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the brown sugar, give it a little swirl and let it sit until foamy on top, about 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the flour, salt and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Add the mashed potato, yeast mixture and 4 1/2 teaspoons of the barley malt and mix to form a stiff dough. Knead in the stand mixer until smooth and slightly sticky, adding additional flour if the dough is sticking to the bowl or too sticky to handle, about 5 minutes (or turn out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for 7 to 10 minutes). Transfer to a large oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to bake, let the dough sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and divide into 12 or 16 equal parts, depending on whether you want larger or smaller bagels. Stretch each part into a smooth ball, making sure to seal any dough seams well. Shape the bagels by sticking your thumb through the center of each ball and using your fingers to gently stretch a 2-inch hole. Cover the bagels with a towel and let rise for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F; line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease them well with cooking spray.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the baking soda and remaining 3 teaspoons barley malt. Working with 3 or 4 bagels at a time so as not to crowd the pot, boil them for 1 minute on each side (use a timer for this). With a slotted spoon or spatula, lift them out of the water, allowing excess water to drip off, and then transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. (If making 16 bagels, you will likely need to bake a third pan of bagels, which you can do after the first 2 pans come out of the oven.)
• With a serrated knife, make 3 cuts in a triangular shape on top of the bagels and dust them lightly with flour. Bake the bagels for 10 minutes, then switch racks, rotate the baking sheets 180 degrees and bake until golden brown, 5 to 8 more minutes. Let cool slightly.
• If not eating right away, cool the bagels fully, then transfer to plastic bags and freeze (slice them before freezing if you'd like, so you can put them directly from the freezer into the toaster). Reheat in the toaster.

• Spoon into well greased and floured loaf pan ( 9 x 5 x 3 ). Level the top.
• Drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter. Take a knife to swirl cream cheese mixture into the batter. Refrigerate any cream cheese topping you don't add on top of the batter.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 40-45 minutes (ovens vary) or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn out on rack to completely cool.
