Homemade Bagels - Feast Your Eyes

by Sarah LeTrent, Posted Jan 28th 2010 @ 10:00AM

Whether eaten plain or with a "schmear" of cream cheese, Americans chomp their way through whole-wheat, cinnamon-raisin, poppy seed and onion bagels every morning. But while most procure their morning rings of dough from a local bagel shop or deli, a fresh bagel is only a few, simple ingredients away.

The boiled-then-baked rings of dough from the Fresh Loaf are nothing more than bread flour, salt, water, yeast and malt powder -- leading to the question of "why didn't I try making these sooner?"

The dough is made and shaped into circles – the bagel's signature silhouette -- the night before. The next day, they are boiled and baked just in time for the morning pot of coffee.
