Homemade Bagels
The trick to these crisp, chewy bagels is thepoolish,a fermentation starter (also known as a mother dough) made with bread flour, yeast and water. It is quickly assembled the night before the bagels are made.Slideshow:Bagel Toppings

Quick question, the instructions on my parchment paper says that it can only go up to 425°, so I’m putting it in at 475, the paper burnt and smoked quite a bit. Has anyone else experienced that
Followed directions to a T. My dough wouldn’t stay together when rolling into a ball. Wound up rolling into long pieces and wrapping them together to form a circle. In the end, they kinda looked like bagels- some of them- and tasted fine. TJ’s Everything Bagel Seasoning saved the day. Any suggestions to my dough issues. Thanks. Rich
Sticking your finger into a ball to create a hole for a bagel is a cheat short-cut and not the true bagel formation technique. Form a rope of dough, wrap it around your palm, join the ends by rolling with your palm on a floured surface. Easy, really, but you might need to practice a bit.
Has anyone heard/ tried boiling the bagel in beer instead of water?
What's with all the English grammarians here? I side with "crispy" and "make the dough." Descriptive and to the point.
Just made these today. Very happy with the results. The texture and flavor were good. I need to figure out how to get the even browning. My bagels had some overcooked areas, and I did use parchment paper. Maybe AirBake baking pans would help, or I need to keep checking the bagels for doneness more frequently.
I'm going to test out the bagels and will report back. I am going to found the Society for the Elimination of the Abomination Word "Crispy".
May want to review the step headings. 5 of 6 are "Make the Dough". The author will not make any "dough" writing at that level...
