If you ever needed a sign to make homemade bagels, have this be it!! They were so yummy!! - Becky

I loved your smile when Josh came in the house. It was so full of love! I saw the dogs moving but what gave it away was that quick smile! ❤

I have a camp in Maine and the blueberries grow wild all around me. They are so flavorful, much more so than the big cultivated blueberries. Cute story, I was sitting in a lawn chair near a big blueberry bush and the bush started shaking; as I watched a chipmunk came out of the bush with both cheeks bulging with the berries. Totally adorable!!

You’ve inspired me to make bagels! I did so years ago, and it’s time to bring it back! NOTE: after you form the rolled ball, try letting the balls rest for 7 to 10 minutes before forming the holes. A bit of relaxation does wonders. I’m 80, but never too old to enjoy (and share) food tips! I very much enjoy your videos—especially the gardening!

Congratulations!
A bagel making tip though because I didn’t see you add it, is once your water is boiling, add a couple of tablespoons of Baking soda (2T) and either 2T honey or brown sugar* (*you can also add barley malt powder or syrup). The baking soda is important. Be careful when you add as the water will boil up. This will impart color, shine, and a chewy texture in the finished bagel. To get this, much like pretzels, you need to change the water to alkaline with the soda. You don’t want to add too much of it, because it can give a metallic taste, but you don’t want to skip it either.

Hi Becky, looks amazing! However, this just in: the reason you boil the bagels is not actually for the "chew". Boiling bagels before the baking sets the crust, prevents the dough from expanding too much in the oven, and gives bagels their unique skin. Same goes for pretzels. Just an FYI 😅

Out of all the content I watch on here and other platforms Becky is my favourite creator. Please keep creating you inspire me and add so much to my days (when I see the new videos are out) I really hope you come out with Aprons and a mug I'd love those for sure

Those adorable little pups waiting at the door ❤ Wonder who they are waiting for 😊

Along with the honey I put 1 tablespoon of baking soda it helps brown them

This bagel-palooza was great. Had me drooling! With the blueberry bagel, i think you only put in 3 cups originally. But I need to re-watch the video. I love the way your knowledgeable touch tells you that the dough could use more flour and you adjust accordingly. That's a real baker.

Your uploads are always the top of my list. This may sound odd, but I watch them before bed because they’re so relaxing. I watch them while I work, as well, they somehow make me focus more! Plus they’re so educational. I didn’t have strong parental figures so I’m learning all of my cooking how to’s from the internet these days. Thank you for sharing these with us!

Actually, Becky, a jalapeño round got put into the dough by accident. That’s why you were short one for the top. You did great! Bagels are real pills sometimes and I’m impressed at how well you did.

Love watching your dogs peering through the glass door.

[sailingtootsiemarie]

How ironic! I’m literally making sourdough bagels for the first time and your video popped up! Currently the dough is resting, we live on a boat in the Caribbean, so the rise time is significantly cut down compared to cooler climates. Thanks for the video, Becky. ❤ 🥯

[heatheramador]

I love your doing different types breads because I love baking bread its my hobby now. I wouldnt have known this without my first try with your no knead so thank you taking me on this journey! 😊 Happy baking everyone!

[angiebrockett]

I never attempted to make homemade bagels 🥯 thinking it would be difficult. After watching you. You made it look simple.

[lynnm]

Where I live I can’t get fresh bagels…. I’ve made my own bagels so many times! So easy and SO DELICIOUS!!!!

[Stephanie_baugh]

Me and my 4yr old daughter love watching your videos! It’s so cute to hear her say omg mommy becky uploaded a new video we have to watch it! We’ve see all of our videos and have been watching since the beginning!

[annmartin]

Becky, I watched your first bagel making video 9 months ago, and have been making my own bagels ever since. Just made a batch this morning. You are an amazing woman!

[donnadelevieleuse]

Becky love watching you. Love how you have all the wonderful equipment to make all the delicious dishes
