4 is the most I have had (more than a few times) in one sitting, although I could probably do 5. Generally at home I prep 2 as a meal, and if you aren't using Philadelphia Cream Cheese just stop because you are bageling wrong.
The bagels in PACNW suck bags of uncircumcised ****s though. No one boils them right out here, and the dough is flavorless. They come out all small and compressed, instead of big crispy and airy in the middle. Makes me miss the East coast
