My co-worker has his own bread blog now (http://www.yeastybeasty.wordpress.com), and perusing through it, I noticed a recipe for bagels. It didn't look too difficult, so I decided that would be my project for the weekend.
You need to start the night before in order to have them ready for breakfast. I'm not going to narrate much, look at his blog for the actual instructions.
So here we go:
Friday Night: I mixed, kneaded, and shaped the bagels. After that, they go in the refrigerator overnight.

Saturday Morning: First, I boil them.
Next, I bake them:
Finally, it's time to slice and eat them.
