Try frozen bananas to make this even more like a milkshake. I also like to use chocolate sauce, and then there's no need to add the sugar.

Very tasty. I reduced the bake time by boiling the wedges until almost tender. It goes much faster.

I've tried this recipe several times and have gotten mixed results. I've learned not to let the dough rise too long - definitely not over an hour - because the dough falls flat immediately when touched. But then I found Allrecipes' guide to FORMING AND BAKING BAGELS. I highly recommend this guide. I used the same dough recipe here, making it cinnamon/raisin, and for the rest of the recipe I followed the guide. It makes a far more impressive and perfect bagel. I had to make the dough at night and formed the bagels, then put it in the fridge. I think letting it sit overnight may have help the shaping to gel beautifully, then I boiled and baked in the morning. What a way to spoil your family!
