Bagels

bagel
I have had a craving for bagels for a couple days. The thing is, most store bought bread gives me hives, so my craving had to wait a day, then overnight, then through this morning’s boiling and baking. But finally, I have my bagel, a Potato Bagel Star in fact. (I added some flax and whole-wheat flour to the recipe and topped a few with chia seeds, the rest with poppy or sesame seeds.)

So, I raise my glass of wild sweet orange ice tea to holding out for a craving, and bread in general, and to summer, whenever it decides to arrive. (I suppose we have to get through Spring first don’t we?)

    I wouldn’t even know where to begin! Do you make dozens and freeze them so you can get some instant gratification sometimes?

    This recipe made 13 bagels, but I plan on making more in the next week so that I can freeze them. Funny thing is, I never crave things I have on hand…

    Good for you! I have never even looked up a bagel recipe before.
