Been trying out a mold for the bagels to make shaping and dipping them in the malt bath faster and easier. It’s definitely easier and the holes make putting spreads on the bagel easier (mostly), but the uniformity of the holes makes em look weird and they seem to bake up rather than a more oval shape. I’m gonna play with it some more to see if I can get a more uniform shape.

The vulture in the top right corner of the picture didn’t mind at all.
