Bagel Verdict

DELICIOUS! I finally had one this afternoon. ( dealing with dry socket made it virtually impossible to chew this morning) The cinnamon bagels are a real hit. Rich seemed to like the poppyseed bagels. I can't have one of those for a couple of weeks, due to the wisdom teeth situation...so I'll be able to comment on those at a later date. I will definitely be making bagels again. They were easy...they just have a lot of wait time to them. There really is nothing like a fresh bagel, or fresh bread. Store bought is good, but fresh out of the oven, just doesn't compare.

so how did you make them - don't you have to boil them? You are braver than I...

Yes, I made the dough on day 1. I let them rise a little and then did a water test. If one floated within 10 seconds, I then placed the whole batch in the fridge for a slow rise. Day 2, I brought a pot of water to boil, added 1 tsp of baking soda, boiled the bagels 1 min on each side. Then I baked them 5 minutes, switched the pan 180 degrees and baked another 5 minutes, let cool 15 and voila, FRESH, YUMMY bagels!
