I made bagels today. 🥯
According to the recipe, it was supposed to be a relaxing afternoon of baking. According to my kitchen, it was a full-contact sport.
There was flour everywhere, dough sticking to things it had no business sticking to, and at least three moments when I seriously considered ordering takeout instead.
But in the end, I got a batch of warm, chewy, homemade bagels—and honestly, that feels like a win.
If anyone needs me, I'll be over here acting like I own a New York bagel shop. 😂
