Homemade New York Style Bagels

Bagels made the classic way: They are boiled in water for a couple of minutes
before baking. This is probably one of the most bizarre things a person can do
to the dough, but it works. So, if good bagels cannot be found where you live,
worry no more; this recipe is adaptable, and the little bit of effort you put
into making these bagels is well worth it.
