I first had this amazing CBA bagel in Bagelman Brighton and I have been obsessed ever since! Here is the recipe for making them at home.

Bagels (Makes 4) (credit to the Gourmet Traveller blog for this amazingly simple recipe!)
25g butter, chopped
125 ml milk
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp dried yeast
1 egg, separated
250g strong white bread flour
For scattering: poppy seeds
METHOD
1 Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat, add milk and sugar, stir to dissolve sugar, heat until lukewarm, then remove from heat.
2 Add yeast, stand until foamy (10 minutes), then whisk in eggwhite and ½ tsp salt.
3 Combine flour and yeast mixture with a spoon, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes or until springy to touch.
4 Cover with cling film and stand until doubled in size (30 minutes-1 hour).
5 Divide dough into 4 pieces and, working with one piece at a time, roll on a lightly floured surface into a ball (if dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour). Dust your thumb lightly in flour and push it through the centre of the ball to make a hole. Spin the ball around your fingers to enlarge the hole (make the whole bigger than you think as they will puff up!). Place each bagel on a bagel trayr and cover with a tea towel, then stand until slightly risen (15-20 minutes). Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and preheat oven to 200C.
6 Carefully slide bagels into water in batches and simmer, turning once, until slightly puffed (20-30 seconds each side. Remove bagels with a slotted spoon and transfer to a tray lined with baking paper, leaving space between each.
7 whisk the egg yolk in a small bowl, brush over bagels, scatter with poppy seeds and bake until golden (18-20 minutes). Set aside to cool.
