Bagels

"These are made from scratch and taste much better than the ones you buy halfready or from the store. You can decorate them with your favorite seeds. I like my bagels with cream cheese, or fresh salad and salmon. Please tell me your toppings if you comment!"

  1. These were good, but I think they were missing something because mine didn't turn out shiny and were a little heavy on the inside. They still had a good flavor though. I used sesame seeds and cinnamon sugar for the toppings. Thank you for posting! Made for PAC, Fall '09.
     
  2. These were pretty good. I tried to do the recipe as you said by placing the bagels into the boiling/simmering water after they had risen but when I did so they fell and turned flat when I had to turn them in the water. (See my first picture) I guess I'm not that good at handling risen dough!! So with half of the bagels I proceeded as your recipe described(boiling them after they rose for an half an hour) and with the other half of the bagels I put them in the oven at 425F after they had risen and cooked them for about 5-6 min. and then took them out and boiled them and then put them back in the oven at the same temp. and cooked them for an additional 15 min. They seemed to turn out pretty well that way and they didn't fall when it came time to boil them. Since I made this for Ramadan Tag I decided to serve it with labneh instead of cream cheese and sprinkled za'atar on the top! :) They were very good that way! We did enjoy them.(made for Ramadan Tag 2009)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Originaly from Austria i moved to Iceland in 2002 after a life long longing for this country i felt at home at once and now it is the place where i belong. I am living with my wonderful husband in a nice, bright flat in the subburb of our capital, Reykjavik. I love to cook and eat healthy and i mainly use whole grain. I do not use any ready made mixes and i try to keep the food i cook close to the ingrediants i used. I am an elementary school teacher but i work in a kindergarden now and i actually prefer that field. Besides cooking and though especially baking, i like photography, knitting, swimming, long walks, all kind of sports, animals and nature among much more. <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> This was at least as much fun as it was work: Thank you team! <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/79877/hkbanknives.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/sticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> My favorite game so far: <a href="http://s714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/Um_Safia/?action=view¤t=rrtplayersbanner09-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/Um_Safia/rrtplayersbanner09-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif">
