Thanks Gretch for confirming that they freeze well.

Ohh, so excited to find these, have been craving them since coming home from NY. The NY who served them to us called the fish lox, to me it just seamed like smoked salmon, not like the gravlax I have had in restaurants. They added white onion slices to the cream cheese, yum! Ohh the memories.... Can't wait to try the recipe

Lox is smoked salmon. Gravlax is made with a salting process of salmon which is also sometimes cold smoked often served with buckwheat blini.

That photo is awesome. I'm inspired to make some more.

[Very Happy Jan]

I've never made or eaten Bagels but once again CP63's photo had inspired me. Hopefully will get time tomorrow

I made these today and I'm very happy with my first attempt.  I've found that I obviously need to make the hole bigger as mine practically closed up, but being the first time I was unsure how big to make it. 

Also never having eaten one before I have nothing to compare to but I loved these.  I had one with no butter, but with a slice of caprese salami and provolone cheese with a couple of halved green olives.  OH YUM!

I enjoyed the whole process and can't wait to make some more especially if they freeze well. 

Thanks Brazen for a great recipe.

They look good though JulieO and next time I'm sure you will have them perfected.  It is a little strange making your first batch and not being sure what you are doing but, as we would all agree,  they are well worth the effort.

They look lovely Julie. I had meant to make some today but DD and I bought a Sony e book reader between us and of course we have been playing with that. DH's comment was 'what about all the books you have in there (cupboards) that you haven't read?'

[JulieO]

Thanks Judy & Cookie.  I think I like them better than normal rolls too. 

Cookie, typical man to think like that.  , I'm sure you're going to love your e-reader.

They look so perfect Julie....YUM.....I haven't tried making these yet, but I will get there 

[Cornish Cream]

Lovely looking bagels JulieO, I'm with Maddy, I will eventually get to making these.

Yummy, going to give these a try tomorrow, last Sunday I made focaccia and was a great hit so looking foward to this one. Thanks for the inspiration.
 I am becoming a little unsocial just want to stay home and play with my TM.

I think we have all been there and done that BB so it is perfectly normal.
