Curiosity got the best of me and I went ahead with AP flour. The shape held perfectly but I did have to add more flour (1/4c or so) to get the dough to be pliable and not sticky during the kneading stage. In the end they are a bit soft (a touch like Lender's w/o a firm crust) and they don't look at plump as yours but they are wonderful! I'd love to do them again with bread flour.. .and then I'd have a good excuse to make the NYT famous cookies w/the same! Thanks again! Hi Janice,

AP flour can be used, however, it will not produce the same kind of chewy crust. And you may have to lower the amount of liquid in the recipe, since bread flour absorbs more liquid than AP flour. Bagel dough needs to be pretty stiff in order to survive the shaping and boiling process. It's just a matter of how much you want your bagels to resemble NY bagels. If you like softer bagels, then AP is probably the way to go. (If you are having a hard time finding bread flour or high-gluten flour, and you have any kind of health food store near you, you can buy a box of vital wheat gluten and add one teaspoon per cup of flour. But you may have already read this on the group site!) - Janice That’s a great question! AP flour can be used, however, it will not produce the same kind of chewy crust.

My cinnamon sugar bagels did taste eerily similar to doughnuts, yet weren't doughnuts. Won't be making those again... And next time I'll give the KA a whirl. Great post!
