This is impossible for any convex shape, so one will need to exploit the non-convexity of a bagel. The first cut needs to be such that two u-shapes are left. This is achieved best if the cutting plane is tilted with respect to the planes of symmetry of the bagel. Now, stack the two u-shapes and cut them both into three pieces using 1 cut, cutting of the 'legs' of the u's. Now we have 6 pieces and 1 cut to go, so stack all the pieces and cut right through to give 12 pieces in three cuts.

What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with 6 straight cuts?
As no constraints on the shape or regularity of the resulting pieces are made, making a three by tree line grid on the pie surface would result in 16 separate pieces. Cutting the pie into regular wedges with 6 straight cuts passing through the center would result in 12 pieces.
How can you cut a pizza into 29 pieces with 7 straight cuts?
Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.
