Best Bagels EVER! Really!

Okay, I have always been a little skeptical when it comes to baking your own food - I always thought it wasn't really worth it but man o' man is it ever!

I'm going to be scouring to see if I can find some recipes for "flavored" bagels like blueberry, onion, and the famous "everything" bagel. I will post them as I try them. FYI - my next attempt will most likely be blueberry since I have some blueberries left from this summer. Here's how these turned out:

Here's the recipe, I hope you enjoy!
