Surprise!!  In "The Best Bagels are made at home" by Donna Z. Mellach, there
is a recipe for Bialys made in a bread machine!  It is as follows:
  3/4 c. water
  2 tsp.sugar
  2/3 tsp. salt
  e c. all-purpose or bread flour (all-purpose yields a softer product)
1 1/2 tsp. dry yeast

Add ingredients in the order recommended by the maker of your machine.
Process on the "dough mode" or "Program" or "mix bread cycle" or whatever
your machine calls it.  Allow dough to rise through the full first rise 
period after the kneading phase, between 35 min and 1 hour, or until the 
dough fills about 2/3 of the pan.

Upon completion of the dough cycle, remove dough and punch down.  Rest the
dough for 10 min. and then form it into 8 to 10 equal balls.  Flatten each
ball with a rolling pin to a 4" diameter circle, about 1/8" thick and place
on a greased baking sheet lightly sprinkled with cornmeal.  Cover with 
plastic wrap that has been sprayed with Pam, and allow to rise until 
puggy.  Mix filling ingredients together.  Make an indentation in the 
center of each bal with your thumbs or the bottom of a small shot 
glass.  Dribble a tablespoon of filling into the hole. Bake in preheated 
400F oven for 10 to 25 min or until lightly browned.

ONION-POPPY SEED FILLING
3 tbl. minced onion
1 tbl. poppy seeds
1 tsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. kosher or coarse salt

SWEET CENTER FILLING
1/2 c. chopped dried fruit: apricots, raisins, prunes, or dates
1/4 c. chopped pecans or walnut
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c. melted butter or margarine, or vegetable oil

Hope this works for you!  I haven't made this one, but I've made several of
the bagel from this book, and they all came out great!
