Bagels and cream cheese will always be one of my favorite breakfast items. I haven't had a bagel in a really long time, so I decided to make some of my own! Wait a minute before you get excited though. These were NOT easy to make. They took hours and hours and the dough is unlike any other. AND you not only have to bake these guys, but BOIL them too?! Well, regardless, it was well worth it because now I am chomping on some mini bagels and they were made in my very own kitchen. Take a look if you want to make your own too!
