Everything you love about nutty, earthy deli-style rye bread in the form of deliciously chewy bagels.
Homemade Bagel Recipes
Learning how to make bagels is where my love affair with baking and bread making began. Once you realize how easy it is, you’ll never buy store bought ones again. My standard plain water bagel recipe takes less than 3 hours to make, including at least an hour of resting time. Here you’ll find that basic recipe, plus lots of variations on it — from rosemary olive oil to pumpkin bagels.
roasted garlic and fennel bagels
These roasted garlic and fennel bagels get their flavor from a whole bulb of garlic and ground toasted fennel seeds.
pretzel bagels
These pretzel bagels are the best of both worlds — deeply browned, salty pretzel exterior with a chewy, dense bagel interior.
rosemary olive oil bagels [bruegger’s bagels dupe]
These rosemary olive oil bagels are just as good as Breugger’s and still only take 3 hours to make.
homemade egg bagels
These chewy, tender, golden yellow egg bagels are so easy to make at home.
cinnamon sugar pumpkin spice bagels
Serve these warm, cinnamon sugar pumpkin-spiced bagels toasted with butter or a hearty maple-bacon cream cheese.
homemade bagels in less than three hours
Once you know how to make your own bagels, you’ll make them over and over again because while you’ll know how secretly easy they are to make, your friends won’t — and getting to bask those impressed reactions? Priceless.
