Combine 1c flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Stir in hot water and honey;
beat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to make
a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface; continue to work in flour
until dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead until smooth and elastic. About
5 minutes. Cover with a bowl. Let rest 15 minutes. Divide into 12 equal
parts. Shape each into a flattened ball. With thumb and fore finger poke
a hole into the center. Stretch and rotate until hole enlarges to about 1
or 2". Cover; let rise about 20 min. Boil water in a large shallow pan,
about 2"deep. Reduce heat.

Simmer a few bagels at a time about 7 minutes. Remove from pan. Drain on
a towel about 5 minutes. Place on a baking sheet; brush with mixture of egg
white and water. Bake at 375 degrees 30 minutes or until done.
