THANK YOU for posting this- I've been baking a few every morning (Keeping the dough refrigerated for up to 2 days as per the recipe) this week and am SO incredibly in love! Being a NYC girl transplanted over the past decade to various places with no good bagels my bagel snobbish heart is rejoicing over these! OH MY!!!!

Sure, a lot of work and waiting were required, but hell was it fun boiling those things! I've tried your apple cake, your double chocolate layer cake and now these. I love your site, it's so enjoyable. Thanks! Allrighty, where to start… these bagels are nothing but amazing. Sure, a lot of work and waiting were required, but hell was it fun boiling those things!

At the last minute I realized I had wax paper and not parchment, so I used it. The bagels turned out fantastically (I and my roommates thank you for the recipe). The only problem is that the paper stuck to the bottoms of the bagels, and I wasn't able to peal it off of a few of them. Is this because of wax paper is there someting else I need to tweak before I make them for my fiancé/ family this weekend? Also, any suggestions on how to make a crunchy cinnamon-sugar topping that is Panera Bread-esque? The cinnamon/sugar and butter/honey I used didn't seem to do the trick. Overall though, these came out great. I was so glad they were better than what I could get at the store/ bakery. So, I made these this morning/ last night.

I wonder why I don't see more of you on her site (she does recommend other blogs) and vice versa.

Whenever my father visits me its mandatory he bring at least 2 dozen. When I tried to make my own (several times) they just weren’t the same. I blamed it on the Water. This is a different recipe and will try it. Cinnamon Raisin is my favorite! No doubt NY has the best bagels and I’ve been deprived of them since living in PA.

Didn't have barely syrup but they still taste like some of the best bagels I have ever had. I chose not do to cinnamon raisin. I did 1/2 everything and 1/2 jalapeno cheddar. Followed the rest of the recipe, except let the sponge sit overnight, because I ran out of time and therefore made this a 3 day process. WIll be making again and trying out different flavors. I did have to turn the temp of the oven within 3 minutes and finished cooking them at 410 for a total of 15 min or so. Delicious.

I've tried these twice now and both times they've come out wrong. They look fine until I pull them out of the oven... the bottom part of the bagel that is in contact with the pan is "soggy" and tastes and feels like raw dough. I put them back in the oven for a few minutes but it didn't help. I didn't add the raisins or the malt powder, but I can't imagine either of those would ruin the whole bagel!

Both batches, the bagels just sunk to the bottom and never popped up. I still put them in the fridge and ended up just baking them off the next day, skipping the boiling part. They were still good, but then, the weren't really bagels either. I just wasn't sure why this was happening? Thanks!

Then I came back home and no more bagels for me. Cant describe what I felt after making this recipe, it was oh so delicious, and brought back so many memories. Thank you, thank you, thank you soooooooo much they were amazing!!!!! Though I have to admit I put more cinnamon on them cause I just cant get enough cinnamon flavor on me... you got on me another fan.
