Step 7: Bake
For baking
- boiled, sprinkled bagels
Add the sheet pan of bagels to the preheated oven and set a timer for 12 minutes.
Halfway through, open the oven and rotate the pan to promote even browning.
- Pull the bagels when they are golden brown all over and sound hollow when thumped.
Remove the bagels from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
