I made bagels last weekend from a different recipe. I wish I had remembered this one was here. Re-reading this entry gives me some insight into why I wasn't as happy with mine as I could have been. I'm going to do some more research and try them again some day. It looks like I should order some Sir Lancelot in the mean time. The recipe I followed has the bagels rise overnight in the refrigerator after you make the dough. My bagels looked a lot like your bagel that you steamed for 3 minutes. They tasted good, but they weren't exactly the right texture or look.
