Made these bagels this weekend and I was pleasantly surprised at how (sort of) easy they were. I was disappointed that they didn’t keep their awesome rounded shape after rising…they looked so pretty but just touching them while picking them up to boil made them squish into flatter, less appealing shapes. Maybe it just takes practice? I plan to keep trying and hopefully get better.
For toppings, my favorite one just had a sprinkle of coarse salt on top! I might make these a regular weekend tradition!

It’s just not a bagel without malt!

I made them over the weekend. They were awesome and really easy. I didn’t add as much water as I should have in the mixing process. I think that they would have rolled out easier if I had. I would do that next time. They were super yummy hot out of the oven just with butter.

Jentri, I did the oiled sun dried tomatoes and noticed the oil caused a bit of separation when boiling. I only made two with the tomatoes in them(i tried asaigo cheese in two and left two plain for the kids) I will try leaving out the recipe oil next time since i only have the oiled ones in the house and make whole batch just of the sun dried tomatoes. Even with patting them down a bit it still happened. They taste great though.

When you add Sun Dried tomatoes do they need to be the dry ones or can they be the ones packed in oil? What would you recommend?

I love bagels so much! I’ve always been intimidated at the thought of making my own though. I’m bookmarking this recipe to try!
