Do you have a recipe nt using a bread machine? I don’t have one.
Laureen King
Hi Martha, sorry I don’t have a recipe without using the bread machine.
karen smith
Water temp? My bagels tasted great but did not rise
Laureen King
Hi Karen, usually if dough doesn’t rise it is because you yeast is not fresh.
Jessica
What temp should the water be?
Laureen King
Jessia, just room temperature.
Lisa Everett
I am looking for a rye-pumpernickel bagel recipe. Do you know of one. I have made Black Russian Bagels but like the mixture of both the rye and pumpernickel.
Laureen King
Hi Lisa, sounds like great flavours, but sorry I do not have a recipe to recommend.
Megan
Recently tried another recipe for bread machine cinnamon buns and was so thrilled when it worked out. Gonna try your bagel recipe today but was wondering if you had tried it with whole wheat flour or any other kinds of flour
Laureen King
Hi Megan, aren’t bread machines great. I have not tried this recipe using whole wheat flour. In most bread machine recipes the ingredients for whole wheat vs all purpose flour are different.
Kim
Do u know if I can freeze before baking? Not sure at what stage to freeze
Laureen King
Hi Kim, I have never tried to freeze the dough, but my guess is they would not turn out.
Stephanje
I tried this recipe and ended up with very sticky dough (did not look like your picture) 🙁 I live in Texas and it is usually very humid, is this why my dough did not turn out? I am definately going to try again!!
Laureen King
Hi Stephanje, the humidity could be a problem, but I’m guessing maybe the flour was maybe not measured correctly. You didn’t sift the flour before measuring??
Linda
Best recipe ever! My bagels turned out wonderful using this recipe!
Laureen King
Thank you Linda!
Megan
Have you ever made this with regular all purpose flour instead of bread machine flour?
Laureen King
I have Megan, and they turned out good, just a bit denser.
maya
AMAZING bagels. Almost the same at from my local bagel shop, and is super easy. Can’t wait to try again.
Laureen King
Thank you Maya for taking the time to comment and rate my recipe. Glad you enjoyed it.
Zoe
Can you freeze the dough before shaping and cooking? If so, before or after the rise?
Laureen King
Hi Zoe, I have not tried freezing the dough, so without trying this I can’t really tell you what the outcome would be.
susan

anxious to try both the bagels and pretzels
thank you
susan
Laureen King
Hi Susan, I have a bread machine that makes 3 different sizes of loaves. But as you are just making the dough any size of machine should work.
Diana Vereen
Can raisins be addeded and when?
Laureen King
Diana, yes raisins can be added. I would put them in after adding the flour in the bread machine.
Heather Hoover
do u have a video to show size of balls u should make them into?
Laureen King
Hi Heather, I don’t have a video, but divide the dough into 10-12 even pieces.
Julie Wilson
what is the difference between bread machine yeast and rapid rise yeast?
Laureen King
I have never found any difference between the two.
SCT
I want to try to make everything bagels, does the topping get put on with the egg wash?
Laureen King
I would brush the egg wash on and then the everything mix before the egg wash dries so it will stick.
