@Feygel:  Welcome to TFL! (I see on your Track tab that this is your first comment.)

Do you put malt syrup in the boil water or lye ?

I actually use a mix of both. But I don’t think I’m using enough lye. Does the lye give it sheen? My main issue is that when I boiled them in the water for more than a minute they got to tough.

I have a question about making bagels.  Does anyone bake the baking soda before using it in the boil of the bagels?

I have seen this method in the making of pretzels.

However, I hear tell that baking the moisture out of sodium bicarbonate, transforms it into a stronger solution. Much less caustic and dangerous than lye.
