Bagels are naturally a little denser and chewier than regular bread, but they shouldn't be heavy. A few things can affect how fluffy they turn out. Make sure the dough isn't too dry—this recipe gives a range for the water, so add a little more if needed to achieve a smooth dough. Also, be sure to let the dough rise fully during both rises; depending on the temperature of your kitchen, it may need a little longer than the times listed. Lastly, boil the bagels for only about 30 seconds per side, as a longer boil can create a denser, chewier result. Hope this helps!
