One of my 13 for ’13 goals was to do a little more baking. Including using my bread machine for something other than basic white bread. I had been putting it off all year, until my friend Katie started posting these delicious bread recipes. That got me thinking, could I recreate her recipes for the bread machine? Well, I am giving it a shot.
Katie and I are teaming up to bring you 2 option for her bread recipes, starting with her Homemade Bagels. Of course, below you will find my bread machine version or you can click over and view her recipe. So, no matter what your preference you will find a recipe that works for you!
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 2 cups white flour
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 teaspoons of oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 tablespoons of sugar for boiling water
- Egg and 2 tablespoons of water for egg wash
- Optional Toppings: minced onion, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, oats, etc.
Instructions:
- Add ingredients to the bread machine according to manufacturers recommendations. Select the Dough Cycle.
- When the cycle is complete, remove from the bread machine and punch down. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball and flatten. Gently poke your thumb into the middle of each piece, and twirl on your finger to make the hole larger and even the dough out around the hole.
- Cover the bagel dough; let rise for 10 minutes.
- In the mean time, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot with 3 quarts of water and 3 tablespoons of sugar to a boil.
- Lower bagels into the pot of water. Working in batches. Let them boil for about 1-2 minutes turning half way through (the longer you let them boil, the more chewy they will be.) After boiling, place on towel for a minute to drain before moving to a greased baking sheet. Brush each bagel with egg wash, and top with desired toppings.
- Bake for 20 minutes, and cool on a wire cooling rack.

Why do I suddenly feel like I need to go downstairs and have a bagel smothered with tons of cream cheese? Your bagels look just like the professionals! Great job, Brenna!

I know, Heidi, I think I need to go have one too. Thank you.

Looks delicious! I don’t have a bread machine but I love to make bread!

Thanks Nancy, if you ever wanted to try them without a bread machine, be sure to check out Katie’s recipe.

Hey Brenna!
Great job on the bagels. They look so professional. I don’t have a bread machine but I love bagels. I don’t bake much anymore sadly.
brenna
Thanks. That is why I have a bread machine, Kathleen. I don’t bake a lot either. 🙂
Catherine @ Happily Ever Crafter
Wow those look SO good! Definitely going to try this! I haven’t had a bagel in ages! My mom likes to buy a bag of Panera bagels when we come visit but this would be way better!
brenna
Thank you so much, Catherine. I did this based off of Katie’s recipe and that is what she compared them too was the Panera Bagels, so I hop your mom will be impressed.
Katie Clark
Yum, these look great! Thanks for making a bread machine-friendly version 🙂
brenna
Thanks so much for letting me join you in this. It really challenged me and got me going on trying different things with the bread machine. I can’t wait for the next recipe.
Tammy Northrup
I have a bread machine that I don’t think I have ever used. Definitely trying these! Thanks for the great recipe.
brenna
Tammy, I will have several bread machine recipes to come, so I hope you will find some things to inspire you.

I’ve got to give this recipe to my dad. We’re always making bread and he does the bread machine while I do it by hand. We could totally do what you and Katie are doing! I think we may bake along after you guys for fun! Love these bagels.

Snap! I love bagels and I love my bread machine. I have got to try this!!! I have pinned it. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Shari @ Shari Blogs
I am always on the lookout for new recipes to use with my bread machine. I have never made bagels with it before, but that is about to change!!! These look amazing!
brenna
Thank you, Shari. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I should have more bread machine recipes coming.
Deb Warren
I love bagels, and if I can make them in my bread machine, that’s fabulous! Thanks for sharing at the OBC pin party. I pinned, liked and google+ed. Deb @Kneaded creations

I can’t wait to try these! I have had a bread maker for 25 years and have never made bagels. Seeing these makes me think I can! Your post will be featured at the TGIF Link Party this week!
