Directions
Onion Bagels,My family loves onion bagels, but they are expensive to buy for as many as they would eat, so I found this recipe online.,I love these bagels, but frustrated with the dense chewy texture. I read on a baking science website that boiling for less time (like 1 min per side) creates a less thick crust and allows the bagel to rise a little. Whereas a longer boil time makes for a thicker crust and less rise in the oven. The flavor is phenomenal and I will try again with a shorter boil time. I think this is just a preference of mine.,Fabulous recipe; I dried my own chopped onions for three days first, liked a lot better than dried, and next time won’t make 18 of them. I got to boiling too soon I think too, so next time will let rise a little more, but even too small and thin, they were to die for!!!!
