My problem - I kettle them and as soon as they come out of the water, looking nice and fluffy, they start to drop. They continue to fall in the oven and when they finish are a doughy, heavy mess. I am using good fresh yeast, high gluten flour, kneading them for five to ten minutes, letting them rise twice before kettling. Seem to be doing everything right, then they flop. Any ideas? Sure appreciate your time and thought on this.<br /><br />BobAGuyNamedBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446176817335356877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947422983613362681.post-33439773537127813542009-06-24T01:20:07.930-04:002009-06-24T01:20:07.930-04:00I really like these photos!

I'm only familiar with NY style, and I love them, but I think the first thing I'm going to have to do when I am lucky enough to visit Canada is fine a great Montreal-style bagel. Yours look incredible! I thought these were so much fun to bake, and so much better than any bagel I could buy in my town (which is far from both New York and Montreal!)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06859210460017421539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947422983613362681.post-85027198704516683372009-06-10T06:53:28.107-04:002009-06-10T06:53:28.107-04:00I've never been introduced to Montreal-style b...I've never been introduced to Montreal-style bagels.

Bagels are SUPER difficult to make. There is a lot of debate on whether to add baking soda to the water too. <br /><br />They were good, just not the blassic bagel.
