I love making homemade goodness for my family, baking, cooking and decor. I found a recipe at least a year ago for homemade bagels, boy was I excited, however, they were a lot more work than I was looking for. This is my version, ingredients changed and directions made so simple anyone can do it.

Homemade Bagel Recipe
Step 1:
Throw it all into your bread machine and set use it on the dough setting, usually about 1 hour 30 minutes.
- 3 3/4 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cups hot water
- 1/4 cup butter/margarine (placed in the hot water)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
*Continue to the recipe for instructions on making these without a bread machine.
Step 2:
When down knead it in your hands for a minute, trying to get all the air pockets out. Place on floured surface cut into 12 pieces.
Shape your pieces so that they are somewhat circular, then using your thumb make a hole in the center, you may want to stretch it a bit as it will become smaller as the dough rises and bakes. Cover for 10 minutes. Pre-heat your oven to 400F.
Step 3:
Place on a greased baking sheet, you may want to stretch the holes a bit again, your choice, ours rarely have holes anymore, they taste the same either way. Bake for 17-20 minutes.
There are bagel molds that you can buy to get the hole in the center each and every time. I might buy on of these soon.
After awhile, I don’t worry about making sure they are the perfect shape, they are going to taste the same whether they have a hole in the center or not.

*If you do not have a bread machine, which I have had period of, you can still use this recipe to make bagels for your family. I take 15 minutes of kneading the dough, then let them rise for about 45 minutes to an hour. They still taste great just as great!*
