Bagels are one of my favorite breakfast items. They're so easy and tasty, and they travel well. Usually if I want to make a special weekend breakfast, though, it's not bagels- for all the previously mentioned reasons. But what if I made them from scratch? Well, that'd be a different story.
Joe Pastry, one of my favorite baking blogs, has been talking a lot about bagels this week. Joe talks about everything from high gluten flour to how much sugar and baking soda go into his boiling water. There is a step by step photo guide to making bagels from scratch. The only thing Joe doesn't offer is a recipe for the dough, but you can find some here and here.
Unfortunately, I can't link directly to individual posts on Joe Pastry. All of the above mentioned posts are very recent, though, and you can get to them by scrolling down just a little bit. That is, if you're going to make bagels this weekend!
