It sounds simple, and it is, but this has honestly changed my life more than anything else, ever. I feel whatever now, you know, whatever. Since moving to Austria, I had suffered from the impossibility of buying bagels here in the countryside where I live. There are some places in Vienna where a person can get bagels, but I gave up on finding them out here in the middle of nowhere decades ago. Plus, I think, some have gone out of business again.
Decades.
Because, bagels, you know, always struck me as something an old Jewish lady had to teach you how to make.
Anyway, I’ve baked them several times now. Some with sesame seeds, and some with poppyseeds, and they are excellent.
The baking process is a lot like meditating, only there is boiling water, and you have bagels at the end.
