My bagels"first time"!!!!

Hello dear friends,

It is my first time to try bagels, the result was not bad, actually I can not judge because I have never taste it, I'll send you some to tell me how much did my recipe succeed.

Another question please , should bagels be a little bit chewy ,or I did knead too much my dough,,I am confused,anyway, it is not bad to try new recipes.

Thank you all and have a very nice day!!!

Yes, they are supposed to be a bit chewy. They are often served here with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon), red onion and tomato. We also have various flavored cream cheeses, sweet and savory. Did you like them?

Thank you for your nice words.

Those look great! They should be a little chewy and those all look very good! I love the toppings!

Dear Hans

Thank you so much, I am testing nowadays peter REinhart's new book's recipes,so I tried this recipe twice, first time , there was something wrong in dough , I think that was because I changed the kind of yeast,I am used to use.So this attempt,I used mine,and it worked as usual.
