Homemade Bagels

There is absolutely nothing like a freshly baked bagel with a crispy, crackly crust and soft chewy interior. Though it might seem challenging, making them at home is completely doable! Flat bagels are often the result of over proofing; when transferring your bagels to the refrigerator for their final proof, try to place them in the coldest part, away from the door, which can be drafty. This will also help you limit your bagels' exposure to rushes of warm air every time the door opens. Brushing the bagels with egg whites before topping them is totally optional, but it will really secure the seeds, making it ideal for those who like a well-covered bagel.
