21. We used to do that--had bagel-baking parties and

we have also made our own pretzels--great fun!

[Ellen Forradalom]

22. Yes, it is

My son had a great time playing with the dough, then adding all his own flavorings. His was a raisin and sesame seed bagel which he ate with cinnamon sugar. Very good. I think he's got the makings of a culinary genius :-)

[UncleSepp]

23. Oh please please tell me HOW you do that!

I'd LOVE to make my own!

[Ellen Forradalom]

I've baked my own challah before, with mixed results. Once it turned out great, once I got in a hurry and ended up with challah-shaped bricks that could have been used to pave the driveway ;-)
