Roll these pieces into a ball then pierce with thumb and shape them -
place in boiling water for 2 minutes for a chewy textured bagel.
Remove from water and place on a greased sheet tray( if you want to
add a topping like sesame seeds or poppy seeds do so while bagels are
still wet ). Place in a preheated oven ( 425*F) for15 minutes then
lower the temperature to 350*f for another 15 minutes.
