Traditionally shaped by hand, and smaller and thinner than New York bagels, Montreal bagels get a hint of sweetness from honey or maple syrup in the dough. They're boiled in sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven. Our take on this Quebec classic successfully substitutes a home oven with baking stone for the wood-fired oven.
