My bagels turned out not so great for cream cheese, as you really need to make the hole in the middle massive, but they were excellent for homemade pizza bagels! Made a great lunch for my and my neighbors’s kids!

    Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time. When pizza’s on a bagel You can eat pizza anytime!

    Why does the hole need to be massive for cream cheese? Have I been bageling wrong this whole time?

      It doesn’t need to, but these turned out more like bagel flavored dinner rolls rather than actual bagels. I think that hole helps the bagels cook more evenly.

        That makes sense, I’ve never actually made bagels myself but it’s on my to-do list because I -fucking love- bagels, like if someone could just download the full human history of bagels into my brain, including recipes and tutorials, so I could make them without having to fail repeatedly to get it right (failing with food is difficult for me, and breads are… generally not in my attention span’s wheelhouse 😅), I’d be the literal happiest person alive.

        Thanks! I’m so used to the cheap mass produced bagels being basically closed, and the gourmet ones being very open (excepting anything that got toppings), so that totally makes sense, I just never thought about it.
