خبز البيغل بالقرفة والزبيب المشوي على الخشب (6 حبات)

The honey-water boil gives these an almost chewy crust that crisps up beautifully in the toaster, and the wood-fired char actually comes through in the taste. Slathered one with cream cheese while it was still warm and it was gone in about four minutes.

Pulled one out of the freezer this morning and toasted it — the wood-fired crust got shatteringly crisp while the inside stayed chewy, exactly like a proper Montreal bagel. Warm with cream cheese, the honey-water sweetness really comes through. Six didn't last the week in my house.

The honey-water boil gives these bagels that subtle sweetness you can actually taste, and the wood oven leaves a nice chew on the inside with just enough crisp on the crust. Toasted one this morning and the cinnamon raisin came through perfectly warm.
