Homemade Bagels

My heart is to create a homestead for our family and for us to grow and make as much of our own as possible (or buy from local farmers). I'm finding more and more ways to meet this desire. I've been making our breads since fall....and this week, decided to make homemade bagels...next week, I'm going to try english muffins. I'm thankful for the Amish and Mennonite bulk food stores in the area where I can buy bulk whole wheat and unbleached flours. I left some of the bagels plain ww and sprinkled cinnamon/sugar on top of others. They are tasty and I'm impressed with how they turned out. Now to experiement with adding fruit etc.
