This delicious homemade everything bagel recipe can be prepared the night before you want to bake them for fresh bagels, first thing in the morning!
*Regarding the 30-minute rising time after the bagels have been shaped:
These bagels will still turn out with no rising time between shaping the bagels and boiling them. The key is to make sure that they float before you start timing how long you leave them in the boiling water.
Allowing the bagels to rest 30 minutes before you boil them will ensure that they float more quickly, and it will also prevent the texture of the bagels from being negatively affected by extra time in the water.
