Time to make the bagels...

Recently, thanks to Nicole, I've started making bagels. I was asked on twitter to do a photo blog detailing the process. So my kitchen is tiny and crowded, my camera sucks and this is only my third batch so I'm by no means perfect. So you've been warned... let's do this.

This is the recipe I follow, I tried to give you a picture of each step so you could see the process. Make Bagels!


Ok get all of your ingredients together according to directions. I'm using my fabulous Kitchen Aid, obviously.



Mix your dough


Divide your dough into 8 equalish pieces, let rest for 10-20 min



Roll each dough ball into a snake longer than the width of your two hands.


Loop your snake around your hand


Use your palm to seal your loop ends together


You made a dough circle!


A whole batch of almost bagels, yay.


After a 20 min rest


Time to boil


Boil for about a minute, flip and repeat for second side.


Dry before transferring to baking tray



Bake according to directions... Ta Da
