      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.

      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

        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.

      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!!

        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??

        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.

        I would brush the egg wash on and then the everything mix before the egg wash dries so it will stick.

      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, I would try adding 1 tablespoon of dry onion flakes to the dough, or just sprinkle them on top.

      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.

      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?

        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.

      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?

        Hi Renee, I only have one setting on my bread machine. You would do the cycle that allows the dough to rise.
