Pretzel Bagels

Pretzel bagels - The flavor of pretzels in bagel form. These bagels have the flavor of soft pretzels on the outside and they are slightly softer than standard bagels on the inside. 

These bagels are tender and soft fresh from the oven with a thin crispy crust. Unlike standard bagels, they are made with all purpose flour rather than bread flour and the dough includes some butter. 

Bagel Chips from Leftover Bagels

Homemade bagel chips: turn your leftover bagels into a savory and crunchy appetizer or snack. 

These bagel chips are so easy that you really don't even need a recipe. There are just three ingredients, bagel, olive oil, and seasoning, and they take just a few minutes to make. 

Sourdough Blueberry Bagels

These sourdough blueberry bagels are easy to make and are everything you want a bagel to be... crispy on the outside with a tasty chewy interior. 

 

If you have a sourdough starter, you need to try making these bagels. 

Asiago Cheese Bagels

These Asiago Cheese Bagels are both stuffed and topped with melted cheese. Bread and melted cheese.... doesn't that sound magical?

These bagels are totally amazing, and when they are baking your house will be enveloped with the aroma of baking cheese. 

Overnight Bagels with Black Pepper

Bagels. Dough boiled in sweetened water and then baked. Yes, you can make them yourself at home!

These bagels are chewy and flavorful, just what you'd expect from a bagel. They are great with a "schmear," for breakfast, or for making bagel sandwiches. 

Montreal-Style Bagels

These Montreal-style bagels are chewy and tasty, and perfect with a little cream cheese, smoked salmon, and dill for breakfast. 

 

Bagels were introduced to Canada by Yiddish immigrants who settled in an area of Montreal called "The Main." According to the book, Inside the Jewish Bakery, the first bagel bakery opened in 1919. 

Marbled Rye Bagels

These marbled rye bagels, with their wonderful hearty flavor, are the perfect vehicle for deli meats, smoked salmon, and delicious cheeses. 

I love bagels. I've posted lots of bagels here, including New York Water Bagels, Egg Bagels, Asiago Cheese Bagels, and Onion Bagels. Bagels are a wonderful bread with lots of tradition. They are typically made from a lean, stiff dough. 

Stir-Fried Bagels with Cabbage and Bacon

This recipe for stir-fried bagels with cabbage and bacon is so completely and unexpectedly delicious! 

This recipe for Stir-Fried Bagels with cabbage and bacon is an invention of the staff of Lejen Chen's bagel shop in Beijing. Entrepreneur Lejen Chen was born in Taiwan, raised in Brooklyn, and wanted a taste of New York when she moved to China. Her bagel shop is called Mrs. Shanen's Bagels.

Sourdough Bagels

These homemade sourdough bagels are just like the bagels you can buy at an authentic deli. They are chewy and flavorful. Plus, you can serve them while they are still warm. Ah-maze-ing. 

Serve these Sourdough Bagels for a weekend brunch along with eggs and smoked salmon, as well as garnishes such as red onion slices and capers. We loved them with this smoked salmon cheese ball.

Egg Bagels with a Sesame Seed Topping

Egg bagels are softer and sweeter than traditional New York style bagels. The dough includes the addition of egg and sugar. The eggs give the bagels a slight yellow color, kind of like challah.

The dough for these egg bagels is more like bread dough. It's not nearly as stiff as traditional bagel dough and is much easier to knead. It's also higher in protein due to the addition of the eggs.

Jerusalem Bagels

Jerusalem bagels are oblong sesame coated breads that are baked in wood fired ovens sold by street vendors in the streets of the Old City. They are a version of ka'ak, sold throughout the region, but, according to some, the ka'ak in Jerusalem are better than anywhere else in the region.

These Jerusalem bagels are smaller than the ones sold on the streets of the city, making them more home oven friendly.

Jalapeño and Cheddar Bagels

These Jalapeño and Cheddar Bagels are so chewy and delicious, and the crust is super crispy and cheesy. These bagels are also filled with more cheese as well as chopped jalapeño chiles.

When it comes to bagels, I love trying new methods for creating chewy boiled New York style bagels.

Bread Box Roundup for November 2016

Welcome to The Bread Box Round Up, a collection of wonderful loaves, rolls, and flatbreads from food bloggers who bake bread! 

I'm starting with these gorgeous Asiago Cheese Bagels from Are You Cooking? Zosia baked my recipe along with the The Bread Baking Babes as a Buddy. What does that mean? Check out her post! Thanks Zosia. I am so happy to feature your gorgeous bagels.

Onion Bagels

How would you like to have freshly baked bagels on a Saturday or Sunday morning without heading out to the bagel shop? Well, you can.

Yes, you'll have to get up about two hours earlier than everyone else, but you will have amazingly fresh bagels, making it totally worth it.

Bialys

Bialys are a long forgotten treat from the Jewish quarter of Bialystok, Poland, where they were constant staple.

Food writer Mimi Sheraton wrote about her exploration of the history of these wonderful rolls in her book The Bialy Eaters: The Story of a Bread and a Lost World. "Rich Jews ate kuchen (bialystoker kuchen) with meals, and for poor Jews kuchen were the meal.... we ate them in the morning and in the night, and in between."

Classic New York Water Bagels

Classic New York Water Bagels topped with "Everything" Topping. 

Bagels. Can we tawk? First, let me just say that these Classic New York Water Bagels are simply wonderful. In fact, the two recipients (outside of my family) of these bagels told me that they were the best bagels they have ever had. I am not making this up.
