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!

That tiny "piece of paper icon" which appears beneath each post title is the "permalink" you're looking for. Always happy to find a recommended food blog, thanks.

A few months ago we used the recipe from Reinhart's Crust and Crumb cookbook, and were very pleased with the results (pics at http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaszeta/2274519930/)
