March 21, 2017 at 11:00 pmThis sounds amazing! I’m just very partial to onion bagels probably because of my half-Jewish side. How do I make this recipe into an onion bagel recipe?
Laureen King says
March 22, 2017 at 7:03 amHi, I would just pan fry some chopped onions until they are translucent and then top the bagels with them before baking.
Shannon says
April 15, 2018 at 10:42 amProbably dried onions.
Alison at NOVA Frugal Family says
August 2, 2017 at 5:38 pmSo excited to try these bagels. I have seen so many recipes and I would much rather let the bread machine do the work. I can’t wait to try these. Might even try to do cinnamon raisin too. YUMMM!! Totally trying these 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Laureen King says
August 8, 2017 at 7:44 amAlison, the bread machine makes it so easy! Cinnamon raisin, YUM!
Martha says
August 15, 2017 at 9:37 pmCan you use all purpose flour for this recipe?
Laureen King says
August 16, 2017 at 3:13 pmI have used all purpose flour and it seems to work just fine.
Heather says
September 12, 2017 at 6:05 amHave you tried making a gluten free version for the bread machine?
Laureen King says
September 12, 2017 at 8:38 pmNo I haven’t, but I’m sure it works just great.
Amber says
September 21, 2017 at 9:17 amInstead of putting them on a greased pan, can you use a silicone baking mat? Or would that not work?
Laureen King says
September 22, 2017 at 6:58 pmHi Amber, I would think a silicon baking mat would work
Alaina says
September 26, 2017 at 11:37 pmHi there, what size bread machine is this for?
I have the smaller 1 to 1-1/2 machine.
Laureen King says
September 27, 2017 at 8:14 amHi Alaina, this recipe is for a regular size bread maker.
debbie says
October 11, 2017 at 2:54 pmDo you have a recipe for pretzel bagels in a bread machine?
Laureen King says
October 13, 2017 at 8:24 pmHi Debbie, I do have a recipe and I will try to get it posted to my blog soon.
Mirando says
October 18, 2017 at 3:45 pmYou said use the dough setting . my machine also has a bagel dough setting. Which do you mean? I used daugb is that ok?
Laureen King says
October 18, 2017 at 5:24 pmIf your machine has a bagel dough setting that is what I would use.
Mirando says
October 18, 2017 at 8:16 pmThank you but to late I followed your steps. They taste good but a little harder than I was hoping. I baked at 400 and they were done in less than 20 min. I think maybe lower temp with longer time. I an guess here.
Teresa says
December 28, 2017 at 7:37 pmI’ve tried many times to make a good bagel but yetthey usually turn out bready. Can you help me? Also When is best time to add cranberries, raisins etc. in the dough before baking?
Laureen King says
December 29, 2017 at 5:37 pmHi Teresa, did you try this recipe? I don’t really have another bagel recipe I’ve made. Also the cranberries or raisins would go into the bread machine with all the other ingredients.
Larry Shertzer says
February 9, 2018 at 3:12 pmMine taste great but they didn’t raise. Any suggestions yeast was good,waited till machine turned off,covered with wax paper and towel.
Laureen King says
February 9, 2018 at 5:35 pmHi Larry, boy thats a tough one to figure out, usually it is a problem with the yeast. Did you remove dough as soon as dough cycle was complete and form the bagels, top with soften butter, then cover to raise? Another thing that can sometimes cause dough not to rise is room where dough is rising is too cool. Sorry I’m not able to help you more.
Lauren Maiden-Aery says
February 27, 2018 at 8:59 amSet your oven to the lowest temp and shut off when ready. Add a shallow ovensafe dish with warm water to the bottom and then place bagels to rise. Might have to watch more closely or leave the door cracked but that could solve rising problems. My house is drafty.
Rose says
March 24, 2018 at 9:54 pmUsually you would do a baking soda and water dip…how is the sugar differs in taste
Vicki says
July 5, 2018 at 7:13 pmBaked for 20 mins exactly as written and they were perfect!
Laureen King says
July 6, 2018 at 7:05 pmTerrific Vicki!
Natalie says
September 8, 2018 at 5:28 pmHow would I adjust the time for mini bagels? Perhaps half the regular size? Thanks for the great recipe!
Laureen King says
September 10, 2018 at 6:32 pmHey Natalie, the only thing that would change is the baking time may be slightly less.
Valerie says
September 9, 2018 at 2:37 pmCan I use whole wheat bread flour instead of white bread flour? And do I change the amount of yeast
Laureen King says
September 10, 2018 at 6:30 pmHi Valerie, I think I would just use a whole wheat bread maker recipe for the dough, making the bagel should stay the same as this recipe.
judy says
September 28, 2018 at 11:22 amCan I make cinnamon and raisin what to do .thanks judy
Laureen King says
September 30, 2018 at 11:42 amHi Judy, I’m sure adding about a 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and about a cup of raisins to the recipe should work.
Tricia says
November 4, 2018 at 12:28 pmIs the egg wash necessary or is there an a vegan alternative?
Laureen King says
November 4, 2018 at 5:02 pmHi Tricia, the egg wash is not necessary, but the bagels will not have the shiny more crusty top.
Sheila says
February 24, 2019 at 5:42 amWhen I take mine out of the hot water I dip one side in corn meal and place on cooling rack. Then a sprinkle over a combination of poppy seeds, sesame seeds and dried onion flakes which stick well on the hot wet dough. I have also made choc chip which I knead into slightly cooled dough fresh out of the bread maker. I bake on a corn meal covered oven stone. This is a fantastic recipe.
Laureen King says
February 25, 2019 at 11:57 amThanks for those great tips Sheila!
Gary says
February 24, 2019 at 2:06 pmWow, can’t wait to try this! I have to drive a long way to the bagel shop and when I get there, often they are sold out of the plain bagels (my favorite). Just dug the old bread machine out of the basement. Have to go buy some yeast. Thanks.
Laureen King says
February 25, 2019 at 11:56 amHey Gary, a great reason to pull out the old bread maker! Enjoy.
Shay says
March 6, 2019 at 2:38 pmI’ve made these twice now, they never look very good (my fault) but they taste amazing. I usually make plain, parmigiana and everything.
Laureen King says
March 10, 2019 at 2:59 pmThank you Shay, it does take a bit of practice making into pretzels shapes.
Natalie says
April 15, 2019 at 11:10 amTurned out great! They were so easy to make thanks for the amazing recipe!
Janice says
June 4, 2019 at 2:58 amDo you know what I need to make “Everything” bagels?
Laureen King says
June 5, 2019 at 6:59 amHi Janice, I would make recipe as is and after brushing the top sprinkle with a combination of sesame seeds, poppyseeds, onion flakes and garlic flakes and bit of course salt.
