You toast bread and you just take it out with your fingers - toast a bagel and you need oven gloves!

Yep, I burnt my mouth on a bagel recently

Its pitta breads that are hotter than the sun when they come out of the toaster!

Bagels and pitta more dense so the heat builds up and is contained more as it toasts?

Yes they are hotter but I find they usually cool down quicker.

Seems likely - ordinary bread has a lot of air in. This will insulate the bread from the heat but also help keep it warm once out of the toaster.

Eat it like a true networker, not toasted.
