Greetings folks – I recognize some of you from previous incarnations of M’s kitchen. I was cleaning out email and found this and stopped putting it off. Now if I can just survive all the chaos at work I might post occasionally. Just to set expectations. . . good recipes occationally, no posts like M’s that you read just for the pure pleasure of it 
Here is my question – my 11 year old wanted to make bread a couple of weeks ago so I gave him a go at one of my bread books (yes – I have a few. . not that I use them THAT much!) and he decided bagels sounded good. They included boiling them and turned out good but not the real chewy and crusty like a good NY bagel. Any ideas?
Cheers
Roberta

Good question – I wonder if Hoyameb, the bread goddess – has an answer!!
To make a proper bagel you do boil it, but then you bake it.
I don’t have time today, but if I can remember, I’ll go look in a bread cookbook I have for a specific receipe and I’ll send it to Merujo.–>
