Here is the link to the recipe I used for the bagels. 

I cut small squares of parchment paper and set the shaped bagel on the individual square before letting them proof. It made it simple to pick up and place in the boiling water to avoid deflating the proof on your bagel. 

Cream Cheese Smear:

1 package of cream cheese

1 bunch of chives

1/2 tsp Onion powder (not dehydrated onion)

Salt and Pepper to taste

Use electric hand-mixer to whip the cheese.
