[rec.food.recipes] REQUEST: Bagels

heather@mlfarm.com (Heather Grant Florence) (01/31/91)

I had great success with the soft pretzel recipe recently posted.
Because it calls for boiling before baking, it made me think of bagels
which, I believe, use the same technique.  No one has, to my knowledge,
ever posted bagel recipes.  The difference between great and okay
bagels is night and day so I am willing to put in the effort.  I
promise to try and report results.

Why, btw, do you boil them (and pretzels)?  Also, I hope to get advice
on how to make variations like onion, garlic, pumpernickel, poppy and
raisin.

i'm looking for a decent bagel recipe, one that makes bagels with nice
crusts.  the recipe i have makes wimpy things like you get out of the
super market freezer.  recipes with onion and/or garlic in them would
be especially nice, but i'm willing to experiment with sticking that in
myself.

thanks a lot!
