Plain Bagels image

This recipe actually comes from a bread machine recipe book. I changed a couple things so I could make it by hand. I do not own a bread machine. I do however use my bosche mixer.

These bagels were a bit more difficult to make than I expected, but they were worth the effort. They're so delicious! I especially love the crispy crust. I'll definitely be making these again.
