Homemade Bagels - New York Style Bagel

I’m sharing today a recipe for delicious homemade bagels that are easy to make. Bagels have become very trendy in recent years, appearing everywhere from street food chains to restaurant menus. Yet bagels aren’t new at all - they were brought to the United States by Ashkenazi Jews who prepared them, particularly in Poland. They’re characterized by their ring shape and being boiled before baking, which gives them their unique texture, different from other breads.
