Bumpy Bagels
I have been making bagels for a while, I have noticed that the sufrace of the bagels are comming out for lack of a better term bumpy, the surface is not smooth but thay taste great no one complains, just wondering if this is from not enough surface tension (I shape them into a ball and poke thumb thru the middle) or is this from not kneading enough. or just the nature of homemade bagels, they seem to be like that before even before they are boiled. My loal bagel shop makes them from scratch but they have a smooth surface.
