1. 1

   After moving out to California, I really missed the crusty, chewy bagels that I used to get back east. Fine Cooking Magazine published this recipe a few months ago, and it's the only one that I've ever tried that comes out the way I want. The recipe is quite detailed, but it's much easier to make than it looks...

2. 2

   Note 1: to 1 1/2 tbl salt (I use 1 1/2 tbl table salt. Use 1 tbl if using Kosher salt)
