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.

They’re characterized by their ring shape and being boiled before baking, which gives them their unique texture, different from other breads.
