bagel dough recipe?

[barefootfarmer]

Who has a tried and true bagel recipe? It's mainly the dough that I'm searching for. The first recipe came with my bread machine. It came out like pancake batter twice. The first time I thought I must have messed up the ratio of flour to water. Nope. Now I'm trying one from the 5 minute Artisian bread book. I love their recipe for crusty bread, but I'm not sure this bagel recipe is going to work. It seems super sticky while rising.

So if you have a tried and true, I'd love to use it. It will save me the aggravation of dumping more "dough" into the slop bucket.

Seconded. I can't buy them here, and my one attempt was closer to shoeleather than bagel

Well, that last recipe was a total flop. "bagels" tasted like a boiled version of crusty bread. I'm trying one more recipe and then I have to stop the madness and go milk cows.

I found this one on the internet. It seems to mainly have 5 star reviews, so maybe it will work for you? allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bagels-II/

Well, I hope this one isn't the 6th! From the comments, it seems most of the folks liked it, but there were a few that said it was a dud. Might have been operator error for some of them, lol.
