H guys … I stumbled onto what I thought was a great recipe for authentic NY bagels … and I can’t find the $&%§€ thing now. 🤬

Anyone have a similar recipe? This used diastatic malt powder, and malt syrup, and food-grade lye. Yeah, I know the food safety nazis use baking soda, but caustic soda (NaOH) makes a far stronger alkaline solution. I’m an environmental engineer, and know what I’d be doing with it.
 
THIS what you looking for?
 
Diastonic malt adds more leavening power to the dough. Malt syrup (non diastonic) adds flavor to the boil.
I do not use the caustic soak which adds the pretzel flavor. I do not like the pretzel flavor.
My limit on bagel making is wrapping around hot dogs. Got a lot of fans of my bagel dogs.
