My only insistence about bagels is that they have to be boiled before they're baked, which it sounds like yours were if they have that characteristic chewiness! Without the boiling step, you just get round bread with a hole in the middle, which sadly is often the case with mass-produced "bagels" from the supermarket here in the US.
