Do I have to boil the bagels?

Yep! Boiling is what makes them bagels—chewy and shiny. Don’t skip it.

Can I add other toppings or mix-ins?

Go for it! Play around with flavors you love. Just make sure they’re bread maker-friendly.

Keep them in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temp, or freeze them for longer.
