What did you use in place of the lye?

I have been wondering what I can use boiling my bagels that is more basic than baking soda, but less dangerous to handle than lye.

    I have made bagels a couple of times and didn’t put anything in the water except a little salt. I wonder what the lye is supposed to do?
