  • Don't skip kneading—those 1-2 minutes develop gluten structure for the perfect chewy texture
  • Make the bagel holes slightly larger than you think necessary, as they shrink during baking
  • For uniform bagels, weigh each dough portion to ensure they're exactly equal
  • Press the everything seasoning gently into the egg wash so it adheres during baking
  • Let bagels cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess
