Retarded Bagels

I know what you're thinking - retarded certainly isn't very P.C. these days. Well, what did you want me to call them? Mentally challenged bagels. That just doesn't sound right, especially when retarded in the baking process means that you have put the little guys in the fridge after they rose in order to "retard" the rising. You can leave them for quite a while if you don't really have time to deal with them right away. It keeps them from over-rising. Cold air is cool that way.

So, these are my retarded bagels all ready for their jacuzzi bath.
