Passover Bagels

Passover Bagels made with matzo meal and eggs are dense yet tender, shaped into rings and baked to a light golden finish. This recipe uses a hot water-oil-sugar mixture to bind the matzo meal, then incorporates eggs to create a sticky dough that is portioned into small balls with thumbprints before baking. A glossy egg yolk glaze topped with sesame seeds adds color and texture.
