Bread-Bakers v108.n012.4

The best bagels I have ever made are from Peter Reinhart's book - The 
Bread Baker's Apprentice.  I can't insert the entire recipe here but 
he advises mixing the dough, fermenting/ raising, then forming the 
bagels, which then rest overnight in the refrigerator before boiling 
and baking.  They have the best taste and texture of any I have tried.
