I've been trying out a few bagel recipes recently and was really having a hard time finding one I liked. I think I've found it. Here's a link to the recipe: http://thehappyhousewife.com/cooking/bagels-2/ I made them with half whole wheat flour and half white. I also made a few of them cinnamon raisin. All I can say is WOW!!!! The cinnamon raisin one were UNBELIEVABLE!!!! In the past, all the bagels I made were hard. These came our soft with awesome flavor. The only down side to this recipe is the gluten. I don't mind having gluten in my recipes as none of us are gluten intolerant, but it is EXPENSIVE!!!! I need to buy a 1 lb bag and I only needed a tablespoon. The cheapest I found was $6.55 for the bag. BUt it will go a long way and since I plan on making LOTS of bagels it will be worth it in the end. Still cheaper than buyin a dozen bagels. Next time I make them I'll take some pictures. I think I'm going to make a variety next time, some with nuts and currants, some cinnamon raisin, some sesame. Anyone have any suggestions of what to mix in them????? I'm up for suggestions and will let you know how they come out.
Even my mom said they were very good....now that's some high praise!!!! She described them as "very moist and stayed fresher than store bought. They were soft and chewy."
They barely needed to be toasted b/c they were so fresh tasting. I think 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white is a good combination. I might add little more whole wheat next time just to experiment.
This sounds awesome. I eat bagels every morning for breakfast and my kids love making pizza bagels. This will have to be a regular in my home. Thanks, Kelly.
