Yes, it was definitely time! My mother got us
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day when it first came out, and I quickly got into the habit of making bread. But that habit fell by the wayside when we had a baby and life felt too busy. I've been wanting to get back into it, and kept thinking I would, but not doing it. Until I saw Molly's
post about making bagels, and I knew I had to do it
now. I love bagels. I'm willing to go all junky-white-flour for bagels. And we buy them, too often. And in my head, it's one of those things you don't make; you buy. No more!
They're not the prettiest bagels (I'm hoping that will come with practice), but they sure were yummy! And I still can't quite believe I made them! There's dough left in the fridge, ready for this weekend's bagels. I think making the bagel dough may have to become a Friday-night tradition.

Oh, bagel-making! Don't you just love when they pop up to the top of the boiling water and you flip them over? That's the most fun part, I think--or maybe it's #2, the most fun part being eating the bagels.
Yes, I loved seeing them float up! A clue that maybe I was actually doing it right!
Hey those bagels just gave me a good idea! Keep crochetting the scarf I'm right there with you trying to knit one for craft hope.
Oh, good; I'm glad you're making one, too! I'm just about out of yarn--now I have to go dig around and see if we have more of the same, otherwise it's going to be more of a doll blanket than a scarf!
That book is so awesome, It is a major part of my days. Your bagels looks so yummy, and what a fun treat to create
Thanks, Heather. I really do have to get into using that book more regularly!
Awesome - there's nothing like fresh bagels. And the dough stores really well - we do this at our bakery. Don't ferment it before you put it away though, as it will slowly ferment in the fridge. Just mix it with cold water, and put it right into the fridge.
Wow, I glimpsed at this recipe in the book and just kept on going. Seemed a bit too ambitious for me. You made it look really easy and I might actually give 'em a shot now. Stop by my blog and check out my breads from Artisan in 5. I've made several boules, Pain d'Epis, and white bread.
