Have the dough in the fridge. Will pull it out and place in unlit oven for 8 hours while I'm at work! See how well that approach works.

And my last bagel fell victim to mold.

Is there any natural way to inhibit such rapid growth of mold? Honey?

I don't use a mold.  I hand-form mine, sweety...

Hehe. 

As usual having a lot going on mentally I forgot the dough.

Definitely something I will explore. I wanted- no, needed that bagel this morning.

Bagels freeze well.  My wife brings home several dozen from NJ when she goes back to visit family.  They (bagels) freeze/thaw with no problems.  Our slotted toaster has a frozen bagel mode.

Jersey bagels + Puna coffee = YUM!

OK! I will pull the dough out before bed and make when I get up.

Another batch out of the oven. This time with 1 tsp lye in three quarts and 2 minute poach per side and 30 minutes in the oven- I'm getting a much better golden color that I like.

Nice and crispy, shiny and with a few gooey bits. Nice. I love bagels.
