- When forming the bagels, set aside two 1/4" balls of dough. When the bagels have doubled in size, drop the test dough into boiling water. The dough should pop to the top right away. When this happens, it is time to boil the bagels.
- A quick spray of non-stick vegetable coating on the top of the bagel may be substituted for the egg wash.
- To make bagel sticks, cut bagel before rising and lay out in a straight line. Roll sticks in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a healthy pinch of garlic pwdr. Let sticks rise, boil, and bake as described in the above directions.
- To make bagel chips, slice leftover bagels horizontally into thin slices. Bruish with butter or possibly margarine on one side. Lay (butter side up)
- on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 325 for 12-15 min till golden and crisp.
