Bagels are a mystery to a lot of cooks and connoisseurs of bagels on how they are prepared. I want to take the mystery out of this delicious bread and show you how these are made. With just a few ingredients you can make these for you or your family. Put your favorite smear on them and enjoy the taste of the best bagel you will eat.

Yeast Proofing:
2 1/4 teaspoons active yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (100-110F). Water hotter than this could destroy your yeast and it will not rise.
1 teaspoon of sugar

Other Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups or 420g of Bread Flour (Bread flour is the best for this as the gluten is higher and makes for a chewier bagel like the ones made commercially). Regular All Purpose flour can be used it will yield a slightly different texture.
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Bake on 425 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

  1. How much does the dried yeast weigh? I use only fresh so I need to recalculate.

  2. That was inspiring, thank you. I may try this. I love good bagels and especially cinnamon raisin.

  3. I made these last night and ate them this morning…wowwww they are the best bagels I’ve ever had! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

  4. My 🥯 are currently resting. I’m so excited. I been wanting to make bagels for years and was afraid because I’m horrible at making bread. So far so good.
    I can’t wait to try them.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe ❤

  5. I made these this morning for Christmas breakfast. They were a hit! I think next time I’ll try substituting brown sugar for white and adding chopped pecans.

  6. Someone asked about using sugar instead of honey. You can use brown sugar instead of honey if you like. The honey or sugar adds a little sweetness to the outside and it will add a little color to the bagel also. I would use brown sugar in lieu of regular sugar. I prefer honey in the water for my bagels.

  7. Honey in water for what? Color or taste? How about brown sugar in water and honey with the flour? Will make it ASA I get the response. Thanks

  8. Made these, they look amazing, but the flavor is kinda bland. Any tips on what I can do (add more salt or sugar?) without risking ruining the dough

  9. I made bagels in the 60's. I am still trying to figure out what I did, but after baking, the bagels had water in them, so I will love to watch how they are made and perhaps try again. Today, we want to express our admiration for the great video you created respectfully; it brings much entertainment, joy, and kindness into our lives!

  10. What is the oven temp and how long did you bake them for . I don’t see that in your recipe ?
