1/3 cup nonfat dry milk powder

~In bread machine pan, place the water, eggs, oil, honey, 1/2 cup cheese, milk powder, salt, basil, flours, and yeast in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after five minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

~In a small bowl, combine egg white and water; brush over bagels. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

~Place two inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 15 to 20 minutes (or until golden brown). Remove to wire racks to cool.
