Bagel bakers have a dilemma, whether to have a large hole or a small hole in their wares. Those who favor larger holes point out that it takes too much dough to fill the hole, whilst those, contrarywise, favoring small holes, contend that it takes too much dough to go around a larger hole. 'Tis a puzzlement.
BTW, there are only two types of real bagels, egg or plain...all the others are just fancy, circular breads for yuppies and gen-xers.
