First time making bagels and these were delicious! Pretty easy to make, too! Who knew? They had a bit too much cloves for our taste, would cut back on that next time, but otherwise perfect toasted with some cream cheese on top. Thanks so much for posting! I'm so glad I made these!

Loved these. Made early in the morning for the kids, and myself. What a great combination of flavors these had, and great bagels these were. A great idea this was seeing that I had a 2 hour window from dropping my wife off early this morning and the kids to school. Definately a repeat recipe. Made for PRMR tag.
