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.
