Just made these, and my first time baking my own bagels. Followed the recipe to a Tee and they're perfection. They are chewy, crisp, and soft all at the same time! The flavour's bang on, they're not overly sweet.

I love you. My daughter loves you. We do baking together because of YOU. Thank you!!! You're amazing. I rave about you to everyone I feed and they ask where I got my recipe. Whenever I want to make something I come to your page first to see if you have a recipe before going anywhere else. I choose you before I choose the "tasty" channel. God bless you.
I followed the directions of this recipe precisely except that I used half of the ingredients which made four in total...and WOW! I topped them with garlic (my favorite). I wish I could show you the end result. They came out beautiful...bagel store quality. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video! 😃
I worked in a bagel shop when I was younger. My favorite topping was sesame, plain and cheese. We would boil the bagels, board them up and COVER them in Colby cheese. Since they were covered they would be a little more chewy than the others after they baked. They were the most popular. Also, pumpernickel bagels were good with cream cheese and smoked salmon . yum!!
Just made these and they came out good. Simple instructions and ingredients. I used regular sugar. I did put salt in the boiling water additionally to the baking soda and sugar.
Made these yesterday, and they came out so well. I didn't have bread flour (used APF), and the bagels still came out very tasty and good. Thanks JK for a wonderful video. Best bagels I've made and eaten thus far!
My family and I were blown away by these!! What a fantastic breakfast they made on Father’s Day. One week later, and I’m back for more! I’ll never buy store bought again. Thanks for the recipe 😊
Thanks John! I live in south Florida and I would say add 3 more tablespoons of flour and only boil for 30 seconds on each side. Other the that fallow the recipe as is. Perfection.
Im a Filipina and i married a wonderful, amazing american guy and we also have an 8 year old kid, and they like Bagels. I tried making this yesterday and they said it's perfect. Maraming Salamat for this video. To all Filipinas out there,I recommend that you try making this recipe. It is perfect.
I can’t believe I made bagels! I did it and they turned out perfect! Thank you John for your detailed directions and constant positive encouragement that you give us! YES we can do anything! Now I’m going to have a bagel!
Boy was I glad to read you. I'm about to embark on the project - in Hungary there are no bagel shops. Well there is one in Budapest but I'm in the country. :) Thanks.
OMG!! Made bagels before but I'm always open to try a new recipe. I am so glad I did. They are utterly perfect - and the inside!! Does not sit in your stomach like a lead balloon but a fluffy texture - with LOTS of salt and seeds. THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.
I made these yesterday to have for this Sunday morning. The taste is very good! I used the brown sugar in place of the malt. I made the mistake of storing them in Tupperware so they ende up losing the crispy outside...even after toasting them. Still, they are so delicious! Thank you John for this recipe 😊
Just made them today they turned out so so good .. Its my first time making bagels .. I made them with whole wheat flour instead of white .. very delicious and very healthy thank u
your recipes make cooking so comfortable and simple for me, it used to be overwhelming but now I love cooking and whenever I follow your recipes it always turns out delicious
My favorite bagel is a different kind of "everything bagel" made by a local bakery. I love strawberry cream cheese on mine, so no onion or garlic, just sesame seeds, poppy seeds and sunflower seeds. The sunflower seeds give it some extra crunchy goodness. Yum! Give it a try!😋
Just made these for the 2nd time. I keep the video up and go back and forth making sure I'm doing things right. They're awesome! And the best thing, THIS time, they actually LOOK like bagels!! On to more videos!!
Just wanted to let you know we followed your recipe and have made Bagels twice now the last batch was Chive for half of the batch and the second half we did jalapeno and sharp cheddar we usually double your recipe. Just wanted to say thank you and what a great video it is you gave us a lot of laughs and some incredible Bagels. Appreciate you.
Barley malt isn't that hard to find around here, you just have to go to a brewing supply store. They sell it in various grades of "malt", light to dark. It is a syrup that looks like like dark corn syrup.
John I’d love to see how you handle a dough that you realize isn’t wet enough. I’ve had doughs where I mix for ten minutes before realizing it isn’t working. Love the show!
These are freaking delicious and surprisingly easy to make, just a little time consuming, but hey it's well worth the 2.5hrs. I've baked these twice and made plain, everything bagel and dill weed. I cannot wait to make them again and try other flavours. John is my go to for recipes that I do not have and well lets face it, I've switched out some of mine for his lol. You can never go wrong John's recipes. Thanks John!!!!
I had doubts these would be good after my dough didn’t exactly look like yours but hooraaaaaay the pesto bagels I’ve been craving for weeks are delicious! Thank you for your kindness and simplicity in your videos 💙
Everytime I try your recipe it never disappoints me it always turns out so good.. made this for my kids this morning since school was canceled due to snow and they love it… thank you so much for always being so specific and for such amazing recipes ❤
I love love love everything bagels!!! They are my absolute favorite!!! I use to order them from New York!!! Know I can make them myself!!! Thank you for sharing your recipe!!! God Bless!!!
My family loves these bagels! They didn't last 24 hours! If, like me, you only have instant yeast and think "it's close enough" and the bagels end up too tough when cooled, they're great cut in half and toasted! The blog post in the description gives tips on what to do with instant yeast, like don't bloom and have the first rise be only 20 minutes.
I'm not super big into bagels so I'm not quite sure what my favorite flavor is, but in general, with toast, muffins, pancakes, any kind of pastry or anything: cinnamon, I LOVE cinnamon lol so a plain or maybe raisin bagel, with some butter or cream cheese spread with cinnamon sprinkled on top
Diastatic Malt Powder readily available online to use instead of the malt syrup. Love your cookbook and appreciate the gentle direction you provide us all in these videos!
@@marksieber4626 malting is a process..it is sprouting (and then stopping) the barley which activates certain enzymes and sugars. If you further process the malted barley, you can extract the sugars, thus malt barley syrup. If the active enzyme is kept in, you get “diastatic” malt powder, which has the power to chop big carbohydrates into sugars, thus “digesting” the flour more. Long answer, but yes and no, it’s the same malt that’s in beer, just a different form..
I did it mine were not perfectly round but I did jalapeños and cheese, and sesame with roasted sesame oil drizzle. It was a win. I gave some away so I would not over indulge
I started going to culinary school last year because I didn't know anything, but of course wanted to learn, and compared to recipes that I find online, yours are always perfect. That's an incredible track record! Yesterday, I made bagels based off of another person's recipe, but the dough was so wet and sticky, no matter how much flour I kneaded into it, it wouldn't develop enough gluten. Needless to say, my bagels came out deformed 😓. I should've known better and followed your version instead... So next week, I'll try again!
You’ll probably not see this but I have found your channel again and can’t stop obsessing! I am going to make these thank you for the amazing content ❤
Weird, I’ve been big into the cooking side of TH-cam for like two years, but this is the first time this channel popped up in my recommended. Better late than never!
I'm gona make these this morning with my son. I loveeee everything bagels and asiago cheese bagels. My son loves an asiago cheesy bagel it's the only kind he will eat. We get them from the bakery at our local supermarket. They make them fresh every mornin and they're actually really good! I work third shift so everyday on my way home I'll stop and get him a bagel and they're always warm from the oven and he wants it just like that. Not toasted. no cream cheese or anything just straight out of the bag still warm from the oven. Sometimes ...and by that I mean RARELY he wants it toasted with butter but very rare. I love butter AND cream cheese...or a bagel breakfast sammich. Yum. Technically I shouldnt eat bagels as I have diabetes and they are bad for me so I don't get to enjoy them as much as I'd like to but once n a while I just have to have one. Like today, after watching this and seeing as it was my night off of work...I'm gona make them and enjoy one. Thanks for the video! I can't wait to try these
I became a big fan of your videos mate, I made macarons following your video and they came up so good! Now I'm following this one. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
Wow this is the best! I’ve always wanted to make bagels and I’ve been following your channel and recipes for years. I’m so excited to attempt these. Thank you so much ❤
John, you’ve taught me so much & I’m truly grateful! Could you maybe do something spring related with lots of pastel colors & have you made Turkish delight before?💕
I've made these a couple times and everyone loves them. I recommend your next book being just your breads! You have so many great ones! Muffins, bagels, english muffins, sourdough, pretzels ..... and so many more! I'd definitely love to get my hands on that one! :) Thanks for all you do!
Hej John, loved the video! Having eaten the best bagels in Montréal (famous for the greatest), the secret isn't barley malt (which may be hard to find) or sugar (meh); it's HONEY. That's what they use up there, and believe me, it works! 😋 Give it a try, and taste the difference. ☮️
So many good bagels… I think Everything is my second favorite. To sesame. I was shocked by how strong sesames flavor was the first time I tried it. I like Everything bagels because the sesame is still in there… 😊 I’ll take them plain, onion, cheesed, jalapeño cheesed, brown sugar cinnamon (no raisins), blueberries, and most of the rest, along with whatever else they come up with. But the sesame… muah!!!
Hi John I weighed out my bread flour using a kitchen scale as well as measuring cups for 4.5 cups. I scooped each cup and leveled them, and dropped them into a bowl over the scale but, I ended up with 677 grams . Using a stand mixer, I mixed on low and got really dry dough. I added an extra half cup of luke warm water to it then it was too wet so I added about three tablespoons of bread flour to it and mixed for another 13 minutes and it finally came together. I don't know if your written measurement for cups to grams is incorrect but yeah it yielded not 540 grams but, 677 grams of bread flour. This was the second attempt and I got the same result
I'm glad you said this. I only used 4 cups and some change and my dough is just wayyyyyy too dense. I've never made bagels before, but I'm pretty experienced at baking and I can just tell the dough doesn't feel right.
I'm glad you said this bc I thought I was crazy. I used 4 cups and a little more and my dough is ridiculously too dense. I've never made bagels before but I'm pretty experienced at baking, and I can just tell it's not right.
Just made them. They turned out so good. So far everything thing that I have made from this channel has turned out perfectly
Me too. I trust preppy kitchen

Just made these, and my first time baking my own bagels. Followed the recipe to a Tee and they're perfection. They are chewy, crisp, and soft all at the same time! The flavour's bang on, they're not overly sweet.
I like my bread a bit sweet, kinda like the Texas Roadhouse rolls. Do you think the sweetness is similar or a bit less sugary?
Yeah know I'm from Canada, and I don't think we have Texas roadhouse, but I will say the sugar for me was subtle and enhanced the bagel's overall profile. @@danahemdan9108
@@danahemdan9108 you would need to increase the sugar
