The thing is I had no idea about all the steps it takes to make a successful bagel.
1) you need bread flour! I learned that bread flour has more gluten, gluten is what makes bagels nice and chewy.
2) I'm not sure I activated the instant yeast I bought because they really didn't puff up as much as I thought they should.
2-1/2) I hate the smell of yeast and it is not a good idea to take a big whiff!
3) you need to boil the bagels for a minute or two before baking them.
4) I need to add more bananas in order for it to taste like a banana bagel.
5) I need to not forget the chocolate chips!
All this means is that there will be future bagel adventures and hopefully will not result in bagel hockey pucks!
