I googled a few, so until I try them, I can't make a recommendation.
Today is day one of experiments... I do see a number of recipes that
call for lye, but think I'll go with the baking soda treatment.

I used to have a really good one that wasn't fussy and produced
surprisingly good results. Got it from one of the kids elementary
school teachers who had made soft pretzels with the class, so it had
to be easy. I lost it somehow. Maybe I'd transferred it to computer
and it went when the hard drive died. My computers tend to die rather
than be replaced due to age.

Food is an important part of a balanced diet.

You make a bagel/pizza dough (make sure to let it rise, then work it), form it, boil it (quickly), bake it. Made some last month. Lovely. Just course salt for mine, though. Sweeter msutards tend to win over the gringo easily.
