Bagels: A First Time For Everything.

Posted on by

Bagels have always been fascinating to me, and I have often wondered if I would ever be able to bake some. Well, I remembered I had a Bread Bible gathering dust on my kitchen shelf today, and I decided I would give bagels a shot. I thought I’d play around with the recipe with my youngest daughter (12yo), who is also my baking assistant – I see a lot of myself in her! I was also lucky enough to get the help of my husband with the preparation; my other daughters, however, decided to play the role of tasters – as usual.

I have attached a few pictures taken by my 17yo daughter in this blogpost.

Lovely, lovely.
Beautiful turnout.
Hmmm! These tasted the loveliest, as reviewed by my 18yo daughter!
