Cooking: New York Style Bagels courtesy of Peter Reinhart

There are few things more glorious than a freshly baked bagel to start your day

I made bagels this Friday/Saturday and I wrote it like that because it is a two day process. Thursday night I had been thinking about making bagels and I looked up some recipes early Friday morning. At first I was thinking I could whip some dough together, let it rise while I went out for a run, and then finish them up and be on my merry way. Wrong. After looking through recipes and finding out that the gold standard recipe for NY style bagels, via Peter Reinhart, has an overnight step I decided to wait until Friday evening to start them and then finish them up on Saturday. It was completely worth it. Everyone exclaimed over them and gave me more credit than I was due considering I, or rather my KitchenAid, just followed the recipe and stirred some things together. It really was an easy recipe, and you can find it after the link.
