Cindi -
Thanks for all the great info. I have one question
about your recommendations. Do you think it's good to
freeze the just-formed bagels even if you want to bake
them right away? I mean, are they BETTER for having
been frozen? Or, it is just for convenience, and so you
can bake them right before you eat them (which is a
wonderful idea and I might follow your instructions to
the letter and do just that :)). Also, what you imply
is that they don't need the second rise, after they are
formed. Right?
Thanks again!
