Recovery!

Well, It's a new day and there are more bagels to make.  My confidence was shaken by the little dense bagels I made yesterday.  Today I made them again and this time both batches turned out perfectly.  They are so brown now though as a result of the baking soda in the wash.  They taste delicious but they are just so brown.  I may change back to sugar, because I like to be able to tell the difference between  the types of bagels,

Here are three bagels from the old method  Cran Orange - Plain - Cinnamon Raisin

These below are the same flavor using the new method:

It's a matter of preference.  Now I know how to control it and today is filled with Bagel Success!
