The bagels sold in grocery stores and fast food places like Hortons aren't very good, so it is easy to understand people not liking them. We had incredible bagels in Montreal, and when my son lived in Toronto there was a Lebanese bakery near his apartment that had great ones. |

It could be but I don't know. Adding baking soda and lye to water would increase its pH. |

Sodium hydroxide is a stronger base than sodium bicarbonate. It gives a more pronounced effect, producing a better crust on the dough and promoting greater browning during baking, without affecting the flavor as a greater quantity of bicarb would do.
