Nice to see you posting Dachshundlady/Maryann.
Welcome DL!
I made bagels this morning! I've got them perfected now, so happy for this.
Recently I switched from the 'poke a hole in the middle' method to the 'wrap around your hand' method of shaping bagels, I'm still getting the hang of that one. It makes for a smoother surface, at least when you do it right. 🙂
I'm using the "poke a hole" method and getting a nice smooth surface, I just have to pay attention to the stretching, or I end up with some sections fatter than others. I can't do this quickly, in a hurry, but really need to focus on what I am doing. A few more batches, and hopefully I'll be able to speed up.
