Here I am again, deciding between the Bosch and the Electrolux.  I tried mixing the bagel dough in ITJB, with 52% hydration, as dense as dough can be.  I first used my friend's loaned Electrolux Assistent (the Magic Mill brand, over 10 years old).  I followed the directions I saw on the Bread Beckers video, adding the liquid first, then gradually incorporating the flour.  It just couldn't cut it--even after trying (first) the roller and then the dough hook, then back to the roller.  I even broke up the dough into four pieces.  No luck.  So I went back to my old method, first a short spin in the food processer in two halves, then, surprise, surprise, went over to my KitchenAid Pro 6 (with a newly purchased spiral dough hook).  It did a very respectable job.  Maybe because the dough was beaten down by this time it worked; I don't know.  But I had a lovely, supple, if dense dough.  Baked beautiful bagels.  My questions is for Bosch Universal owners:  Have you done bagels with the Bosch?  Would love to know!  It's getting down to the wire for a purchase.  Thank you for your help!

Joyful
