How to make Bagels | Jamie Oliver

Bagels are one of those bread recipes that seem a bit intimidating, but the reality is they’re super straight forward, and of course, home made always wins. Give them a go!

When I served in the army, one of my duties was to make bread. I remember the lieutenant responsible on this post, he really knew his craft. It also used to be around this time of year and we had ripe tomatoes. I can assure you there's nothing like fresh bread, feta cheese, tomato, oregano and olive oil <3.

I've been watching Jamie since he entered the airwaves. So glad the vibe is much more calm and I really enjoy his manner of instruction. My dough is resting for 90 minutes and hoping for a long-awaited baking success :).

Jamie is a genius. The shop bought bagels are often hard, but these look soft and lovely. A very easy family recipe to keep and fry out.

Will be trying this one for sure, looks amazing!

Wow! I never thought that I could make my own bagel until now--hahaha. That was truly pretty simple and I am sure WAY cheaper than actually buying a dozen bagels at a bakery/store. Thanks for the lesson, Jamie!

I see myself thumbing tomorrow, and having this 60min for myself. Not only it looks delicious, but as Jammie pointed out couple of times, definitely therapeutic! Lovely, thank you.

Something about Jamie's videos is making me instantly happy.
Maybe it's his love for what he's doing.
❤❤❤❤
