Homemade Bagels

A lot of work and effort it does not take. In fact, these treats are very simple to make. They don’t require a lot of time to bake. You need flour, water, and yeast to make the dough. Adding a little honey is also a fine way to go. Mix everything together and let the stuff rise. In just a couple of hours, you will have a pleasant surprise. Divide the dough evenly and shape the pieces into rings. Letting them rise another two hours is what is required for these things. Floating them in boiling water for a couple of minutes is what you need. Watching them brown in the oven is a pleasant sight indeed. Hot, soft, and crispy, they come out ready to eat. Serve them with jelly, butter, and cream cheese, and they’re a great breakfast treat.

I am not inclined to cook myself but this sounds like a recipe I might give a try. Now you have made me hungry.
