Why, outside of greater New York City, is it so difficult to find a good bagel?

Honestly, it shouldn’t be that difficult.

• Light & fluffy.
• Not overly topped.
• Simple ingredients.
• Water. Flour. Salt. A little sugar and oil. Yeast.
• Just the right amount of mixing; adequate time to rise.
• Boiled. Topped. Then baked. Really hot, really fast.

Served with whatever you prefer, but honesty if it is a good bagel, you can eat it fresh and hot, right out of the oven with nothing on it.
