I love making home made bagels - I always feel such a sense of accomplishment when I am finished! And I always think, "Darn, I should have doubled the recipe." I made them as written except I made a few smaller ones for my 5 year old son. I topped half with turbinado sugar and cinnamon and the other half with an "everything" mix of sea salt, flax seeds, sesame seeds, poppy seeds and onion flakes. I honestly liked the sweet ones better!!! Next time I make this recipe, I will throw some poppy seeds and onion flakes into the dough. Can't wait for the next time. Thanks for posting!
