Turns out, when we’re all kind of sick and can’t get to the grocery store, we ended up eating all sorts of homemade goodness, mainly out of necessity. Several people out there in internet land have made homemade bagels lately, so I thought I’d better give them a try too. I used this recipe, which I got to from a link from Angry Chicken. She had also mentioned that she did not make cream cheese to go along with them, but since there was no way I was dragging two sick and one bored child to the store for cream cheese, I made that too, again following a link she provided. My friend at Northern Lights Mama made the observation that bread flour is essential, and I have to agree. There is something not quite right about my bagels that I think would be improved by using bread flour. However, they are good. Especially when spread thickly with the cream cheese (which I snuck some heavy cream into). The cheese was super easy, and good. I think I would follow the advice of some of the reviewers and use a mixture of lemon juice and vinegar for a little bit more “tang.”
The bagel looks scrumpteous…I would love to try making them. Where is the recipe?
Looks beautiful. I have made them before..lots of work. Also cream cheese is amazingly good and pretty easy to make as I recall. i should try this too.
These look so YUMMY! I’m going to have to try them.
Looks scrumptious! I am planning to make some today or tomorrow to take with us this weekend. I haven’t tried making cream cheese, but I did make “whipped” cream cheese from a brick from the store…ridiculously easy!
