Authentic Homemade Bagels

"Bagels are magic. Anyone who knows a thing or two about bread, dough and things yeasty will work out that if you stick a bit of yeast dough into boiling water the yeast will be killed off and there’s no way it can come back to life and rise further in the oven. But bagels do - zombie breads or what? My recipe gives them a slow and low rising, much better with a lot of bread. I make them at home and save a grand not having to fly from here to New York or Montreal for a decent bagel."
