For a richer flavor, try using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. Adding a tablespoon of malt syrup to the boiling water enhances the bagel's sweetness and crust color. Ensure your yeast is active by proofing it in the warm water before adding the other ingredients. Experiment with different toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning before baking.
