I found a recipe for Homemade Bagels making the dough in the bread machine. I knew I had to try it! I love my bread machine! I think lots of people have these little appliances and don't use them. Get your bread machine out of the cabinet! They are so wonderful! I rarely bake anything in mine, but I DO use it for all the mixing and timing. That saves lots of steps. But what I most like is that anything you mix in the bread machine is "managable". There are no huge day-long baking adventures created with one batch of dough in a bread machine. This little recipe made 8 bagels! Perfectly managable. Especially for a night when I had worked all day, came home to make supper, and wanted to do try something new like making bagels. I have tried making bagels before but never with this much success. These are perfect!!!! These bagels are chewy, with a crispy crust, but light inside! I loved them!...
This is how I do it AT HOME MY WAY!
