Cover the large mixing bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest at room temperature for the first rise, allowing the sourdough flavor to develop beautifully.
Transfer your bagel dough to a clean work surface. You may need a lightly floured surface if the dough is sticky, though it should be very sticky.
Using your index fingers, poke a hole through the center of each ball, twirling the dough a bit, to form it into the classic bagel shape.
