Prepare a basic dough with water, yeast, salt and flower (preferably high gluten), however it should be more dry than usual - not tacky. Try to add malt for special bagel flavor. After raising, shape the bagels either as a round ball and make a hole in the middle or by making a long roll and putting ends together.
Heat up water and let 2-3 bagels at a time simmer in the boiling water for a couple of minutes. This is supposed to make the bagels chewy.
Put in oven at 200 degrees for 25 minutes.
Combinations:
Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds
Add cinnamon and raisins
