I used 2 eggplants and decreased the olive oil slightly and added just under 1/2 cup of toasted walnuts. Also after letting the eggplant cool, I peeled it and cut it into cubes prior to chopping in the food processor. I love garlic and even 1 large clove was very strong for this recipe. My husband loved it and although the end result was not very pretty, it tasted great and we served it with pita chips. We will definitely serve this again.

This was my first time with this recipe. I read the other reviews and added the extra 1/8th cup of water which this really needed. I also decided that this made 6 good sized bagels instead of 9. I prefered the look from coiling and pinching the dough to form a circle rather than poking a hole through the center. Finally I preheated my oven to 200 degrees for 2 minutes and had a second rise for 30 min after shaping the bagels. This resulted in 6 gorgeous bagels. For 2 I covered with Parano cheese (I was out of Asiago) and the other 4 I covered with dried fried garlic I had bought at an asian specialty store. I am adding the photos of 3 of the bagels. I will defintely make these again.
