this recipe was great!! It was the first time i tried making bagels and they came out brill! thanks v.much for putting it up!! xxx

I ended up making a few variations and creating an apple cinnamon bagel. I followed the directions for ingredients, only I added 1 cup of shredded apples and and extra 1/2 cup of flour. I did not punch a hole all the way through the bagels, but made a "well" in the center. After boiling the bagels I added a dollop of a cinnamon topping to the center well. The ingredients for the topping are as follows: 3 Tbl.softened butter, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tsp. corn starch and 2-3 tsp. cinnamon. I also had a yield of 8 bagels that were a bit bigger than the 12 the recipe called for. They came out very tasty. No need for cream cheese with this one!

This was my first try at bagels, and I thought this was a very easy and delicious recipe.

I found this recipe quite easy. My family loved it so much I now double the batch. Add a little honey and or wheat flour for variations.

this recipe was really confusing. when i went to boil the bagels, they didn't sink to the bottom to begin with. plus the prep time was about 5 times longer than stated. =/ the bagels are in the oven right now, though. so we'll see how the product is.
