Ahhhh....if you read a little further, it would appear that the Montreal bagel is poached AND baked.
"In contrast to the New York-style bagel, the Montreal bagel is smaller, sweeter and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven. It contains malt egg, and no salt, and is boiled in hney-sweetened water before being baked in a wood-fired oven, whose irregular flames give it a dappled light-and-dark surface colour."
