Why This Recipe Works
This recipe shines by leveraging your bread machine to do the heavy lifting: kneading the dough to perfection. This means you get to bypass the most labor-intensive part of bagel making, setting you up for success with minimal effort. The result is a consistent, elastic dough that bakes into wonderfully chewy bagels.
When you bite into these bagels, you'll experience a wonderfully chewy texture that's a hallmark of a great bagel. The subtle sweetness from organic cane sugar complements the savory salt, creating a balanced base. You can personalize each batch with your favorite toppings, ensuring every bagel is exactly how you like it.

Beyond the suggested sesame seeds and everything bagel seasoning, consider poppy seeds, dried garlic, or a simple coarse salt sprinkle.
