Perfect Sourdough Bagels at Home - Easy Step by Step Recipe

Sourdough bagels are incredible delicious! They’re much simpler to make than they first appear and are far superior to store bought bagels! The process spans over three days from feeding your starter on night one to baking the bagels on morning three. So, they’re definitely a heavy time investment but the majority of that time does not require active work! Fresh from the oven the crust is so perfect they don’t even need toasting!
