Montreal Bagels Montreal bagels are traditionally made in a wood fired oven. They are enriched with honey, eggs and oil. No salt in the dough - this makes the taste of the sesame or poppy seed coating really shine through.
Montreal bagels are usually less dense than American bagels.
Stir in one cup of the flour and most of the remaining flour. Knead 10-12 minutes to form a stiff, smooth dough. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Line one large baking sheet with a kitchen towel, another with baking parchment. Fill Dutch oven to three quarters with water.
