Easy Bread Machine Bagels

This bread machine bagels recipe is super easy and makes great-tasting bagels. You will never buy expensive store bagels again. I also love how bread machine bagels are relatively quick to make and how you can eat the bagels when they are still warm and toasty (versus trying to eat store bagels that have been sitting around for hours or even days)!

Instructions

Make the Bread Machine Bagel Dough

  • Unplug your bread machine and remove the bread pan.
  • Pour the water into the bread pan and then add the rest of the dough ingredients. You can place the yeast in a little indent on top of the flour in order to avoid the yeast falling into the water (until the machine starts). Do not combine the salt with the yeast (as the salt can kill the yeast). Place the yeast & salt in separate parts of the bread pan.
  • Place the bread pan (with ingredients) back into the bread machine and then plug in the machine.
  • Put your machine on the Dough setting and press the start button.
  • When your bread machine has finished, unplug the machine & pour the dough onto a cutting board. Wear oven mitts (as the bread pan/bread machine may be hot). Sprinkle a little flour on the cutting board (before you pour out the dough) in order to avoid the dough sticking to the cutting board.

Shape the Bagel Dough

  • Cut the dough into 8 equal parts.
  • Option 1 – Roll each dough “part” into a smooth ball, press down on the ball to form a thick bagel-like patty and then poke your thumb through the middle (see photo below). Wiggle your thumb around a bit to make a wider hole. FYI – This is my preferred method as I don’t like giant holes in my bagels.
  • Option 2 – Roll each dough part into a dough “snake” or “rope”. Connect the ends of the rope together to make a ring of dough. FYI – This option results in a much wider hole in the bagel.
  • If you are having trouble with shaping your bagels, there are shaping videos in the tips section below.
  • Place each shaped piece of dough onto a non-stick baking sheet and cover the tray lightly with some plastic wrap. FYI – I like to place baking parchment paper on the baking sheet in order to prevent sticking (because some non-stick trays are not very non-stick!).
  • After placing the dough on the baking sheet, you should wait for 10 minutes for the bagels to rest and partially rise on the baking sheet.
  • During this 10 minute waiting period, you should fill a large metal pot with water and bring it to a full boil (not a simmering boil). Optional – Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar to the water (BEFORE you begin to boil the water). This will help to improve the bagel crust.
  • At the same time, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Your oven might take 15-20 minutes to preheat so turn the oven on early in order for it to preheat properly.

Boiling the Bagel Dough

  • When dealing with boiling water, you should wear oven mitts. I also like to wear long sleeves in order to prevent any possible splashes from hitting my arms. Always be safe around boiling water (i.e. do not let children near the boiling water).
  • Use a strainer with a long handle or a large “slotted” spoon (that has holes or slots in the “bowl” portion of the spoon) to gently place one bagel into the boiling water.
  • Boil one bagel at a time in order to prevent the bagels from sticking to each other and/or causing mishappen bagels. Placing one bagel at a time into the boiling water also reduces the potential for accidentally splashing any boiling water.
  • The bagels will float on top of the boiling water.
  • Boil each bagel for 30 seconds on one side then gently flip the bagel over (with the long handled strainer) to boil the other side for 30 seconds. Don’t splash the boiling water. FYI – The bagel should boil for a combined time of 1 minute (30 seconds plus 30 seconds).
  • After the 1 minute of boiling, you should remove the bagel with the long handled strainer and place the bagel on a wire cooling rack. FYI – I like to place a paper towel or a cloth towel under the wire cooling rack in order to soak up any excess water on the bagels.
  • Repeat until all of the bagels have been boiled and have been placed on the wire cooling rack. Allow bagels to cool down & dry for 5 minutes.
  • After drying, move the bagels to a nonstick baking sheet. FYI – I like to use a baking sheet covered with baking parchment paper.

Optional – Add Egg Wash & Toppings

  • If you want to make something beyond plain bagels, you can add an egg wash to each bagel and sprinkle on your favorite toppings (i.e. poppy seeds or dried onion flakes).
  • In a bowl, mix 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water together. Stir until fully mixed.
  • Paint the top of each dough bagel with a light coating of egg wash. FYI – I like to use a pastry brush to brush on the egg wash.
  • Then sprinkle your favorite topping (such as poppy seeds or everything bagel mix) on top of the egg wash of each bagel. The egg wash helps the toppings “stick” to the bagel. FYI – You should not move the bagels from the baking sheet as you brush on the egg wash and add the bagel toppings.

Bake the Bagels

  • Place the baking sheet with bagels (either plain bagels or bagels with toppings) into the preheated oven (which has reached 375 degrees F). Wear oven mitts.
  • Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes or until the crust reaches your preferred level of golden brown. Turn the baking sheet around (rotate) in your oven at 10-12 minute point in order to ensure an even browning of the bagels. Wear oven mitts. FYI – Do not touch any of the individual bagels. Just rotate the baking sheet.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Wear oven mitts.
  • Remove the bagels from the baking sheet with a spatula and place them on a wire cooling rack to cool down.
  • Please read the tips section below in order to make this recipe successfully, change the texture of your bagels & avoid common bagel making errors.

Helpful Tips

  • The tips below are designed to help bread machine “novices” and those who haven’t touched their bread machine in years.
  • Click on our “print recipe” link if you want to print out this recipe. It includes all of the recipe’s ingredients and instructions. However, the recipe print function does not include our tips section. Please read the tips section in order to avoid common recipe problems.
  • This recipe is part of our series on easy Bread Machine Recipes.

  • With this recipe, you can make a huge variety of different types of bread machine bagels. You are not stuck with just plain bagels. Below are some examples of the different bread machine bagels that you can make.
  • Everything Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle an “everything” bagel mix on top of the egg wash.
  • FYI – I like to make my own “everything” mix by combining poppyseeds, dried onion flakes, dried garlic flakes and a little coarse salt. However, you can also buy premade “everything” mixes online.
  • Poppy Seed Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle poppy seeds on top of the egg wash.
  • Onion Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle dried onion flakes on top of the egg wash.

  • Cheese Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle your favorite shredded cheese on top of the egg wash.
  • Sesame Seed Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the egg wash.
  • Garlic Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle dried garlic flakes on top of the egg wash.
  • Whole Wheat Bagels – You just need to replace the bread flour with a 50/50 mix of whole wheat flour and bread flour. No other changes are required. Just follow the rest of the recipe.
  • Salt Bagels – Brush the egg wash on the shaped dough before placing the baking sheet in the oven. Sprinkle coarse salt crystals (i.e. kosher salt) on top of the egg wash.
  • Visitors – Any bagel making tips & what is your favorite topping to add to your bread machine bagels? In addition, do have any tips on how to make homemade bagels even better? Please post your bagel suggestions in the comment section below. This is a great help to beginning bagel makers.
  • Advanced visitor variations (FYI – you should master basic bagels before trying these variations) – Jessica made some chocolate chip bagels (and avoided the problem of the boiling water melting any chips on the outside of the bagel & creating a giant mess). She posted the following tips – “I gently kneaded in a handful of chocolate chips into the individual pieces. I shaped my pieces into bagels. I was sure to fold in the chocolate chips so none of them were or exposed on the surface of the dough. I then boiled and baked each bagel. They came out perfect. Chocolate chips held up just fine. The bagels tasted great.”

  • Since you are making your bread machine bagels at home, they probably won’t all be perfectly shaped like machine-made bagels. But they will look pretty good and taste even better (in my opinion) than most grocery store bagels.
  • Here are two easy bagel shaping techniques:
  • Option 1 – Divide the dough into 8 equal sized portions. Roll each dough part into a smooth ball, press down on the ball to form a thick bagel-like patty and then poke your thumb through the middle. Wiggle your thumb around a bit to make a wider hole.
  • I generally use the “thumb” technique because it is faster and I don’t like giant holes in my bagels. Smaller holes means less “leakage” in the middle of the bagel if you are using the bagels for sandwiches, etc. FYI – Option 1 usually generates a softer airer bagel because there is more “interior” bagel (less exterior crust) created versus option 2.
  • Option 2 – Divide the dough into 8 equal sized portions. Roll each dough portion into a rope or snake shape and then attach the ends of the dough together to form a ring of dough. This creates a much larger interior hole for the bagel. This technique is a little harder to do correctly than option 1 because you have to correctly “seal” the ends of the bagel ring. FYI – Option 2 creates a bagel with more crust and less interior versus option 1.
  • If you are having trouble shaping the bagel dough, you should watch these instructional videos:
  • King Arthur Baking – How To Shape Bagels – This video looks at option 1 & option 2 shaping techniques.
  • Bread Ahead – Shaping Bagels – This video concentrates on option 2.

  • I bake my bagels for 20 minutes as I like softer “whiter” bagels. However, if you like darker bagels with harder crusts then bake them for 25 minutes.
  • My recipe boils the bagel for only 1 minute (as I like softer bagels with thinner crusts). However, you can boil the bagels for 2 minutes (1 minute on each side) if you like denser bagels with thicker crusts. FYI – You should try my 1 minute version first before experimenting with the 2 minute option. Then decide which method fits your family’s bagel taste preferences.
  • You need to use boiling water (not simmering water) to make bread machine bagels. Wait until the water comes to a full boil before adding the bagel dough.
  • Be safe with boiling water. Wear oven mitts and long sleeve shirts to avoid any splashes of boiling water. Do not throw the bagel dough into boiling water. You do not want the water to splash. Use a “bagel skimmer” (long handled strainer or slotted spoon) in order to gently place the bagel dough into the water and to remove the bread machine bagels from the boiling water. Keep children away from boiling water.

I Like to Use the Thumb Technique

Use a thumb t make hole in bagel dough

  • Use FRESH ingredients (i.e. flour) for the best results. Ingredients that have been sitting in the pantry for months can become stale or pick up weird smells & flavors.
  • Try to keep your ingredients (i.e. flour) in airtight food containers in order to extend their shelf life.
  • Moreover, flour can pick up extra moisture from the air while sitting in the pantry and this can throw off recipes (i.e. throw off the liquid-to-dry ingredient ratio).
  • This bagel recipe uses bread flour and NOT all purpose flour. If you do not have any bread flour, you can use all purpose flour but the bagels will be less airy and less bagel like. Stick to bread flour for the best results.

  • This bread machine bagel recipe uses bread machine yeast (instant yeast). It does NOT use active dry yeast.
  • Bread machine yeast and instant yeast are not the same as active dry yeast. Bread machine yeast and instant yeast are added directly to the recipe’s ingredients. In contrast, active dry yeast must be activated in water/milk before being added to a recipe’s ingredients. If you try to use active dry yeast for this recipe, it is much less likely to work properly (as the recipe instructions & leavening time is based on the use of bread machine yeast).
  • Make sure to use NEW bread machine yeast as old/stale bread machine yeast will have trouble rising properly.
  • Bread machine yeast loses its potency over time. Generally, bread machine yeast lasts for only 3-4 months after you have opened the bottle. However, if the yeast is exposed to air & moisture (i.e. the bottle not sealed tight) or exposed to higher temperatures, the yeast will expire even more quickly.
  • Once you have opened the bottle that contains the bread machine yeast, the yeast will last longer if you store the bottle in the refrigerator or freezer. Just make sure the bottle is sealed tight (as yeast will deteriorate quickly if exposed to air, moisture and/or heat).

  • FYI – Some people like to use a tool known as a bagel slicer (or bagel guillotine) in order to perfectly cut their bagels in half. Great for making bagel sandwiches.
  • If you have a problem with a bread machine recipe, please make sure that you are following the recipe exactly (i.e. using the correct bread machine settings), using the correct amount of an ingredient (i.e. don’t eyeball the measurements versus using a measurement cup or accidentally add a tablespoon when a teaspoon is called for), using the correct ingredients (i.e. bread machine yeast versus active dry yeast or bread flour versus all purpose flour), etc. Please don’t “wing” things with recipes.

  • My recipes are based on US ingredient measurements (i.e. US cups & tablespoons). However, as a courtesy to our European visitors, I have also included some very ROUGH European equivalents (i.e. grams & milliliters). Since I rarely use European measurements when baking, please let me know in the comment section below if any of the European ingredient measurements need to be changed (i.e. for XYZ ingredient, milliliters are more commonly used versus the grams information listed in the recipe).
  • Always wear oven mitts/gloves when dealing with a bread machine, hot oven, boiling water, etc.
  • Before using any bread machine, you should read the bread machine manufacturer’s instructions in order to use the bread machine effectively and safely.

Questions & Answers

What happens if you don’t boil bagels before baking?

If you do not boil the bagels, you will be just making a roll with a hole in the middle! Boiling the dough helps to create the classic bagel crust & chewiness.

Do you flip bagels when baking?

There is no need to flip the bagels in the oven, especially if you have added toppings (i.e. poppy seeds) to the bagels. You do not want to dislodge the toppings. You just need to rotate the baking sheet in order to ensure an even browning of the bagels.

  • THarris posted some delicious ingredient additions to my Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – “Amazing,delish! Added orange rind, vanilla extract, cinnamon – all one tsp each. Used oil instead of butter.“
  • Jessica made some amazing chocolate chip bagels out of our Bread Machine Bagels recipe and kindly posted some very useful tips – “I experimented with the chocolate chips. So what I did was let the dough cool for a bit after the dough cycle, but before it started rising again was sectioned it into 8 pieces. I gently kneaded in a handful of chocolate chips into the individual pieces. I shaped my pieces into bagels. I was sure to fold in the chocolate chips so none of them were or exposed on the surface of the dough. I then boiled and baked each bagel. They came out perfect. Chocolate chips held up just fine. The bagels tasted great. I ate one immediately after they had baked, and then contemplated eating the whole batch. They were the perfect chewy consistency I was hoping for in a bagel.“
  • Dutch posted a wonderful oatmeal variation of my No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – “I reviewed these amazing cookies a few weeks ago, easily giving them five stars, and mentioned that I planned on trying them again with oatmeal. Today is my grandson’s birthday and when asked what he’d like me to make for him, without hesitation, he asked for Bread Dad’s cookies. Just finished making them… adding two cups of regular oats with the chocolate chips, and cutting them into the batter with a spatula. The results were perfect. The cookies had a bit more heft to them AND I got a few more… about 48. Again… I was religious about chilling the dough. Thanks again for the recipe!“
  • PattiAnn posted some great tips on how to make my Bread Machine Italian Bread Recipe in her Breville countertop oven. Please visit the comments section on the recipe page for more of her comment. – “I always use the proof funtion in winter as well as summer. This gives you a constant temp when proofing. Also, most of the time I will lay a piece of foil lightly over the loaf halfway through the baking process. This prevents over browning of the loaf. This happens because your loaf is in a more confined oven and closer to the heating elements.. I also bake in CI, Romatopf, bread bowls, all works. As long as it fits you can use it to bake in. I used an Italian bread pan to bake the Italian loaves.“
  • SamanthaH posted some great “end products” that use my Bread Machine French Bread. I am going to try out her pizza bread idea tonight! – “This bread has been a staple in our home for a couple years now! I make it and freeze so it’s available when needed. Makes amazing garlic bread, bruschetta, pizza bread, or on its own with butter. So impressed with the recipe and the minimal ingredients is a huge plus!!!“
