No good bagels here. So we started making our own. Somewhat easy if you use Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice recipe following the authentic NYC retard, boil and bake method. You will no longer pine for...

, there are many precedents of a recipe being regulated, e.g. Reinheitsgebot or German Beer Purity Law. Maybe, one should market the idea of an official "Montreal Bagel" stamp of approval to ensure that that bagel is manufactured...

Unless their recipes have changed dramatically since I was there a few years ago, I consider them the “Earth Shoes ” of Bagels!

Whole Foods on Wilshire in SM now carrries H & H bagels from NY. (The Westside S&H) I tried a sample they were handing out and it was ok, but of course that’s no way to judge a bagel. The guy there gave me some convoluted...

across the street. And started doing something different. I don’t know if they knowingly changed their recipe or what. All I know is that the quality of their bagels dropped dramatically and are no longer worth the drive...

Hi all, Did a quick search, and didn’t come up with much... first of all, thanks for everyone’s recommendations on the donut places. I’ll definitely give them all a shot! I was thinking of doing bagels and cream...

I second Palmieri’s. They bought the recipe from Barney’s when they closed and brought over their baker to make them. I think they are better than Barney’s though, probably due to the older and more seasoned...

Well after recently having my “Montreal” Bagel fill-up down East earlier this month. I set out to make a batch here at home..researched a recipe...bought all the ingredients and Voila!! They actually turned out pretty...

Hi All, I’m going to try to make bagels for the first time tonight and I was wondering if I could just use All Purpose Flour? And if so, should I adjust recipe the recipe in any way? Here’s the ingredient list: Homemade...

chewy crust, tender innards. ;) I’m not entirely shocked since this place keeps Kosher... so, you know someone with "some bagels in their blood" is behind the recipes. However, does anyone have any other bagel places they...

Does anyone know of any place to get them? Used to buy my bagels in NW London. Impossible to find here. Anywhere in Borough Market?

I’m going to be in Montreal this weekend. Where’s the best place to get Montreal style bagels? Thx.
