Day 12 of being unemployed, i have made 3 batches of baguettes, 2 different tries at dutch oven loaves (neither came out well at all),a batch of sub rolls, a chocolate cake (was my son's birthday last week), and today a batch of bagels.

I do not have malt powder, nor did the grocery store in town. But I will be ordering some. The crust (skin?) was a bit too crackly, and not soft like bakery bagels. But were still great.

If eggs are an issue: it won't be the same but you could try brushing with oil or the thickened juice from garbanzo beans or soaked chia seeds. The idea is that it holds in moisture but loses volume dramatically while cooking, leaving a thin crust behind.

    This is the first time I have made bagels in well over a decade, I followed the recipe in my bread baking book. It does not have an egg wash. I will give it a shot on the next batch.
