Directions

Making dough in bread machine

  1. 1

    Add the ingredients (water, sugar, salt, bread flour, and yeast) in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer.

  2. 2

    Start the dough cycle

  3. 3

    Once the dough cycle is complete, remove the dough from the bread machine pan and knead it on a lightly floured surface for a few seconds to get a soft and smooth dough ball.

Boil water

  1. 1

    Fill a large pot with water. (Water should be at least an inch in depth)

  2. 2

    Bring it to a rolling boil on a medium-high flame while you work on the dough.

Shaping the dough

  1. 1

    Divide the dough into 10 equal parts of about 70 grams each.

  2. 2

    Make a smooth ball from each piece and place it on the baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cover them with a kitchen towel or cling wrap and let them rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    With each dough ball, poke a hole at the center with your index finger. Make the hole about an inch wide by moving the dough in a circular motion between your fingers and also stretching it outside.

Preheat oven

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F.

Boiling bagels

  1. 1

    Depending on the size of the pot in which you boil water, add 2-3 bagels and boil them on each side for about 1 minute.

    Remove them carefully using a slotted spoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Continue the boiling process for the remaining bagels.

  4. 4

    Apply some milk with a basting brush and sprinkle some Everything bagels seasoning or sesame seeds.

    Bake the bagels in the oven at 400°F for about 20 minutes or till they are golden brown.

  2. 2

    Place them on a cooling rack until they are completely cooled down.

About this Recipe

Dreaming of the perfect chewy bagel without the early morning bakery run? This bread machine bagel recipe makes crafting delicious, homemade bagels surprisingly simple, bringing that satisfying chew right to your kitchen counter.

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. This recipe is also naturally friendly to various diets, offering an easy path to delicious vegan bagels by simply using a plant-based milk alternative.

Customization & Variations

Feel free to experiment with your flour choice; both bread flour and all-purpose flour yield excellent results, with bread flour often providing a slightly chewier crumb. For a vegan option, just swap the regular milk for your favorite plant-based milk. When it comes to toppings, let your creativity flow! Beyond the suggested sesame seeds and everything bagel seasoning, consider poppy seeds, dried garlic, or a simple coarse salt sprinkle.

These homemade bread machine bagels are perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast, a hearty brunch spread, or anytime you crave a fresh, warm bagel. Serve them simply toasted with cream cheese, or piled high with your favorite sandwich fillings.
