I scoured my "Jewish" cookbooks for a bialy recipe, and came up with one
in a book called "Cooking Kosher the Natural Way", which is a "natural"
foods type cookbook written by an editor of Prevention magazine.  Frankly,
though the book is fun to read and has good ideas, the recipes are a little
strange and include lots of ingredients that you can only get in a health
food store.  Her source for the bialy recipe is a book called "The Roll Basket",
by Sue Gross (Kitchen Harvest Press, 3N681 Bittersweet Drive, St. Charles,
Illinois 60174).  I suggest you try to get that book, since the recipe I found
is an adaptation with ingredients that don't seem to belong in a bialy.

Even NJ, as close as it is to NY, is devoid of bialys (we won't discuss
the bagels here).  When we visit the folks in Brooklyn, mecca for bagel & bialy
lovers, my father goes to a bialy store on Coney Island Ave. for the bialys,
and then combs all the bagel places within a 1/2 mile radius of the house
to get the ones fresh out of the oven.

I noticed you're in California - my aunt and uncle relocated from
East coast to West coast, and when anyone visits, the ONLY thing they
request is bialys - last winter my sister brought them 24 DOZEN (yes, 
that's dozen) bialys in a separate suitcase!!  So, next time someone visits
from NYC, tell them to bring you a bialy!!
