Time to pull out that bread machine and make delicious homemade Bread Machine Bagels.
Do you have a bread machine that you haven't used in a while? Its time to dig it out and make some homemade bagels. Amazing when they are warm and fresh from the oven with a pat of butter. Using your bread machine makes easy work to create bagels that are soft and chewy at the same time.
The bread machine is so convenient and it is surprisingly easy to to use in making the perfect bagel dough. Some more great recipes using your bread machine are Bread Machine Pretzels or Bread Machine Donuts.

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.
Doreen H
I always have my liquid for any yeast recipe between 110 & 120.
Terry
Made bagels for the first time using this recipe. Yes I made a few mistakes in the shaping and cooking. (I handled the dough too much in shaping; and too much time passed between boiling and baking.) But Let me tell you how wonderful they tasted! Crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside! Did I mention how fabulous they tasted? This recipe is my new obsession!
Laureen King
that is awesome Terry, thanks for commenting.
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.
Lynne
Should the flour be sifted prior to measuring?
Laureen King
No Lynne, never sift flour unless a recipe specifically says to.
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
what size bread machine please?
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.
Laureen King
Maryann, I just stored them in a plastic ziplock bag. Without any preservatives, they won't last as long as store bought, so I only keep for a couple of days.
Kristie
Does anyone know how I would make these into onion bagels? They are my fav but I have not been able to find them in the stores lately. Thanks!
Laureen King
Kristie, I would try adding 1 tablespoon of dry onion flakes to the dough, or just sprinkle them on top.
Dorene
I made these and I added 2 teaspoons of Lipton Onion soup dry mix. Turned out great!
Nicole
I'm on my second attempt. The first one didn't rise at all and I'm certain it had to do with the water temperature when added to the machine. This time, I used room temp water and they rose slightly. I used the slightly warmed oven trick during the 30 minute rest (because I have a drafty house). They taste good but I wish they would rise a bit more. Regardless, I'm committed to find out the issue by continued testing. 😉 Overall, this is a really, really easy recipe and I appreciate you sharing it.
Laureen King
Hi Nicole, I am wondering if your yeast is old? Are you using bread machine yeast and bread flour?
CL
Great recipe! Thank you! I added everything seasoning to 8 and cheese to 4. I The directions were super easy to follow. I am an experienced bread maker but it was my first time making bagels.
P Elle
I found this recipe absolutely delicious and easy To make. My husband just love Tom the bagels! Some of them guard a bit Stale after sitting awhileSo I put them in the steamer for a bit and they were absolutely fabulous
Barbara
My second time this week making these bagels. They are delicious!
Laureen King
Awesome Barbara, thanks for trying my recipe!
Linda
I also had trouble getting my bagels to rise, they tasted great but didn’t rise. I have new yeast and have read through other recipes that call for much more yeast, is 1 teaspoon correct?
Laureen King
Hi Linda, I'm not quite sure why the bagels didn't raise. Did you use bread machine flour and bread machine yeast? Also if you house is fairly cool, this can affect rising.
Linda
That might be it, the taste was great and we ate them anyways, will try again
Renee Ryan
Do I do the full dough cycle with the rises so the 1.5 hour cycle? Or just the short dough cycle to simple mix the ingredients, no rise at all?
Laureen King
Hi Renee, I only have one setting on my bread machine. You would do the cycle that allows the dough to rise.
Melissa Ware
First time bagel maker and I'm so glad I made these. Very yummy. Followed exactly as directed. Will definitely make again. Thank you for the great recipe!
Laureen King
thank you Melissa!
Renee Ryan
Thank you! Going to try this week 🙂
