Make it Better Yourself- Bagels

Tonight, I made bagels for the first time. I started around 8 P.M., and we now have 40 (- a few) fresh bagels in the kitch. It was easy, it was cheap, and they are delicious!




I made them small for portion control, and I topped some with garlic, onion, and salt and others with sugar and cinnamon. If you'd like to give it a go, you can find the recipe and instructions I used here. I doubled the recipe and plan on freezing half of them....if I don't sit on the floor of the kitchen with a stick of butter and devour them all myself before the hubby and kid wake up. Ha ha! I kid! I think?!?!

    Wow. Totally ambitious. Eat as many as you want before the family wakes up! I would.

      Thanks! I'm really just stubborn. When I thought I messed up the first batch of dough, I made a new one. Then when both turned out okay, I cooked them all :)It definitely made breakfast easier- the kid wanted a cinnamon sugar bagel for sure!

    I used to make my own bagels too, until I moved to Montreal. Now it would be wasteful to make my own when I have the world's best available 24/7. (Yes, I know NYC....you think you have the best, but believe me: those cakey fluffy things aren't bagels ;)

      Who wouldda thunk that Montreal would have the world's best bagels!I'm 15 minutes from the nearest rural grocery store, so I doubt anyone has a claim to fame on 5 star bagels around here! You city folks get all of the good food- my sister in NY was ordering cookies for delivery while I talked to her the other night. :) Part of why I wanted to make them is the store bagels are so cakey and awful. These came out chewy, but not tough.

    Oooo, bagels! I have never had luck with bagels. They always turn out really hard. ;) Perhaps when Evvie gets a little older I'll give this a shot!

      They really weren't hard or even too much work to make. You should give this recipe and method a shot. And if they still turn out too hard, you can always use them for skeet :) We did that with an excess of patty pan squash from the garden one year!!!
