At last, the “savvy husband” shares his cherry bagel recipe! Because of the required boiling and baking, Matt prefers to make these during the winter months, but he’s been so busy that we had to wait ’til spring. Why bother making bagels at home? Because they are less expensive than store bought and taste great! …
This recipe was a wonderful surprise. I always hope my concoctions are at least comparable to their lower-fiber, higher-sugar counterparts, but the real reward comes when they are even better.

Given their multi-grain ingredients, these are surprisingly light and fluffy. You’d never guess they contain a high-protein, high-fiber combo of cracked wheat, steel …
