That won’t work, as the dough isn’t soft enough before it is baked. By that time, the dough has been shaped, risen for 36 hours and boiled. Baking is a pretty minor step in the process.

- Evbn 14y agoPresumably, OP meant pre-boiling.
- Samuel_Michon 14y agoI don’t see how that could work. You’d either have to split the bagels before boiling, which would turn them into Frankenbagels while boiling, or you’d have to forego the boiling step, which would make it a roll with a hole – not a bagel.
- gojomo 14y agoThanks for the reference... seems the proper accessory would need to be something that helps hold the two in the proper position through rising/boiling. Maybe something in high-temperature silicone? (And yes, it'd certainly force a different hole-to-ring proportion...) Needs experiments!
- Samuel_Michon 14y agoSure, that could work. I think it comes down to the definition of a bagel. Most bagels you can buy in the store don't meet my definition, that's partially why this exercise is so challenging for me. I will definitely try to find a solution, though. The idea appeals to me. —Ashkenazi Jew, my grandmother taught me how to make bagels. It's quite a process, when done properly.
