Ahhhh homemade bagels, you're a gift from the Universe. How could you be more delicious? How?
No but seriously, I may be biased for carbs<\/strong>, but I think bagels are the best kind of bread out there. They have a unique flavour!
That's why today I'm sharing this post on how to make bagels at home<\/span><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, also: what's better than homemade bread? It's a win-win for you: you make something from scratch so you are happy and proud of yourself, and your house will smell so good! <\/strong>Let me introduce you to my traditional bagel recipe, <\/strong>my friend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeds give SO MUCH flavor to your bagels!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I made these for the first time a couple of years ago, everyone loved them. If you've been following the blog for a while, you may be thinking 'Yeah, you always say that about your recipes'.<\/em> Well, friend, that's because if I share something with you, not only I - the undersigned - enjoyed it, but my loved ones did as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You definitely should try this traditional bagel recipe <\/strong>now...<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first time I made bagels was 2 years ago when I was still using my sourdough starter (which, by the way, was called Brad<\/strong>. Brad the bread<\/em>, you know. lol<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember when I first tried them fresh out of the oven, their flavour blew me away: never had something similar in my entire life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not ordinary bread, it was an outburst of flavours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, these flavours came to mind (don't ask me why) and I absolutely wanted to make them again to eat them with smoked salmon, avocado and lemon juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unluckily, I don't use sourdough starter anymore, so I had to use dry yeast instead. Well well, what a surprise: they came out perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely sourdough bread is way better (so if you have it, use it) but this substitute makes the recipe feasible for everyone<\/strong> and that always makes me (and you) happy. So try them now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can eat your bagels for lunch, dinner but also breakfast!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How to make bagels FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have some questions regarding bagels\/bread in general:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are bagels okay to eat on a diet? <\/strong>

Yes. Always remember that the key to a healthy lifestyle is balance<\/strong>, so if you usually eat pasta, potatoes, rice or cereals for lunch during the week, substitute one of them and eat a bagel instead. Every diet should include carbs, because carbs give energy. Don't be scared.P.S. if you have a diet plan to follow, that your doctor made, follow that (obviously).<\/p> <\/div>

Are bagels healthy to eat for breakfast? <\/strong>

Same as above: if you usually eat oatmeal, try a savory breakfast instead. Bagels are AMAZING with avocado and\/or salmon. Don't forget a sprinkle of black pepper and a drizzle of lemon juice on top!\"Multiple<\/p> <\/div>

How do you store bagels? <\/strong>

The only disadvantage of bagels is they go stale fast. My advice: let them cool down completely and eat them, OR freeze them immediately<\/strong>. Personally, I always make a batch and freeze them so I can eat them whenever I crave for something special.<\/p> <\/div>

So, how do you bring a bagel back to life? And how can you soften a bagel without a microwave? <\/strong>

Me and my boyfriend usually put our frozen bread (also our bagels) onto the radiator, in the morning, so they slowly defrost. At lunch time, we heat up a pan\/cast iron grill pan and toast them. No need to use a microwave!<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
