Fresh baked bagels have a wonderful texture and flavor that can't be duplicated by toasting previously-baked (i.e. storebought) bagels. It seems to me that a bagel that has been prepared just to the baking phase (formed, risen, boiled) then frozen would be a very desirable product.

For [Doc] [Worldgineer, Nov 01 2004]

Bagels don't taste the same anywhere outside of New York, for reasons that entirely escape me. But I suspect that would interfere with your cunning plan.

Baked (if you'll excuse the pun!) in the in-store bakery / catering industry. See link.

[DC] I don't know, it's hard to imagine something tasting better then the fresh bagels I've made at home. Maybe you should send me some water just to be sure.

[pru] Wonderful. I was hoping these were baked (heh). I've never seen these marketed at the retail level. "Quick 7 minute bake time" is even better than I'd hoped. (<sigh> the "get bagels!" page for Washington doesn't work)

it is entirely possible that prufax's link is the reason *why* bagels don't taste the same outside New York...

It doesn't work in Nebraska either (but then, what does?).

My gluttonous instincts compel me to humbly request a recipe [World]. If you'd be so kind I could then vote on the idea based on empirical evidence. Mmmm...empirical evidence.

I linked to the recipe I believe I used for my last batch. My recipies are different each time, and generally come from whatever I can find by typing "bagel recipe" into Google. I have yet to make anything but a perfect batch of bagels.

Thanks [World] will give it a go next week sometime. I know owe you for bagels *and* projectile physics!
