Made this twice - first time strictly by the recipe, and it came out terrific! Very nice and perfect taste. Husband said was a bit too sweet, so second time, I omitted the sugar altogether, just added the molasses - this is when the surface is somewhat irregular, and doesn't rise as much, but still is wonderful. A definite keeper

A WOW bagel! I used safflour oil - love the sweet nutty taste it imparts; and I brushed the bagels with egg white+water. They turned out terrific - nice and crusty golden crust and so yammi and soft inside. Btw, I tried the same recipe with half whole wheat and had to dump that - for some reason didn't rise, didn't work at all for me...

Really easy to make !!! I too let the yeast puff up in water with sugar, and then added it to the flour. Let the dough rise twice about 20 minutes and 15 minutes. Simply the best!! Thank you
