Possibly Paula's bagel with crem cheese in the center was a bialy. A bialy
is a New York type roll like a bagel but flattened in the middle.  Usually
onions are placed there, but why not cream cheese?  Try it and find out -
they are good!

   1      tbsp          yeast
   1 1/4  cups          water -- cold
   5      cups          bread flour
   4      tsp           salt

out.  Preheat oven 450.  Flatter balls, ust with flour over the round.

Place 1 tbsp onion-poppy seed mix in center of each bialy.  Place on
greased cookie sheet and bake 10-15 minutes.
