Making bagels is harder than I thought. I’ve made them using the simple bagel recipe from King Arthur and I followed exactly, but the results weren’t what I expected. My bagels are pretty flat, The recipe has you make the pieces into balls and then rest the dough for 30 minutes then make the holes and boil. I think when I try this again I will make the holes and then let them rest for 30 minutes to plump up then boil them.
