More than 30 years age, I received a booklet from the company Fleischmann's Yeast. They had a recipe for bagels. I have tried many others since then, but nothing compares to the taste of this recipe. It is delicious; crusty outside, chewy inside. You can make many different variations, including caraway,sesame,poppy seed,onion, and many more. It definitely is worth the effort.
