Homemade Bagels
These homemade bagels are chewy, golden, and surprisingly easy to make from scratch. A quick honey and baking soda water bath gives them that classic chewy crust, while the inside stays soft and tender. Keep them classic or customize them with everything seasoning, sesame seeds, cheese, jalapeños, or your favorite toppings.
