These bagels are amazing. Soft interior and toothy exterior. Perfect sourdough flavour. Definitely going into regular rotation.

A family favorite. Love it with shredded Asiago cheese on top.

Would do 6 instead of 8 for bigger bagels, and probably double the recipe to make more:)

Perfect bagels-crusty on the outside, soft and chewy inside. Start these the night before-no work putting the dough together. Very clear instructions for the actual bagel making process.
