I mean I can understand of you don’t like bagels, tastes vary. But your assessment of them as dry makes no sense to me. They are no drier than a baguette or most other crusty, non-whole grain breads.
like i dont know how one(op) can say its dry compared to donuts when one is boiled in water, then baked(bagels) while donuts are litterally deep fried, which is a dehydration process.
bagels are denser yes, but dense doesnt necessarily mean its dry
Well the moisture level of the dough might start out different, so even after deep frying they could wind up moister. But I don’t think I could judge the dryness of donuts (either kind) to bagels because the texture is so different.
Maybe that’s the crux of the thing: it’s hard to separate different elements of texture. Bagels are denser than most crusty breads too and maybe OP is reading that as dryness.
