everything bagels with herb & garlic cream cheese (vegan) | hot for food

[@vegan_guac]

And this is why (in the words of Jenna Marbles) Lauren is above the law! 😍🙏🏼😂x

[@M00NdaYn]

Dink dink!

[@M0chalatta]

Hell yeah!!

[@camilarodriguez320]

Yeah bby!!!

[@sarahandspices]

Yes!!

[@lorenadiutori]

I can tell these are legit because of the pull you got when you bit into it. Also, that is the correct amount of cream cheese, thank you for not wimping out.

[@hotforfood]

LOTS OF CHEESE!

[@GlaciusDreams]

People NOT putting a borderline inappropriate amount of cream cheese on their bagel is one of my pet peeves. Pet peeves? Is that how u say that?...whatever I dislike when people do that.

[@jennamccann9956]

Made these today! It was my first time making bagels. Best cream cheese I've ever had! Update: I had frozen the cream cheese and 2 bagels for 2 months and they tasted better than I remember. Freezes really well

[@frank-gavinmoratalla7942]

I used to love cream cheese, I haven't had any real cream cheese in over 12-13 years and most vegan options aren't as good, but earlier this year I tried Kite Hill Almond Cream cheese and I kid you not, I cried! Half from absolute joy and the other half trying to figure it out how they did it in order to make it myself!

[@ivyrose1692]

Awww what a cute comment! I believe they culture it (ferment?). So just soak some almonds overnight, blend them with a couple tablespoons of plain vegan yogurt ( or a probiotic capsule) , let it sit at room temperature for a couple of days until it gets as sour as you like, then fold in any herbs/ seasoning you want.

[@jasminej.9731]

That’s how I make my cream cheese! Olives for dinner has an amazing smoked salmon too

[@crosamond]

Is this a poem?

[@peachontopk]

Kite Hill is the best vegan cream cheese indeed. Pricey as heck but SO worth it!!!

[@myhomeCEO]

Kite hill is absolutely delicious!

[@thatpiscesgal]

it doesn't matter what time of day, every time I watch hot for food videos, I instantly become hungry!!

[@dedoubecool]

For anyone who doesn't have bread flour you can use all purpouse and add 2 tsp of wheat gluten for each cup you use ♥ THESE LOOK SO GOOD LAUREN !

[@hotforfood]

thanks for the hot tip :D

[@alexandragatto]

BLESS

[@gaby4n6]

Thanks!!

[@fraeni90]

Lauren: guys, don’t laugh, this is how we make bagels! Also Lauren: *giggles*

[@musicismylove92]

This video could single-handedly force me to buy a kitchenaid mixer with the bread kneading attachment...looks incredible!!

[@hotforfood]

its kinda magic!

[@polliefam4258]

Same! I’m like I think it’s finally time for a mixer 🤣

[@glamdiva916]

musicismylove92 I was thinking the same thing!!!

[@maxinef6654]

Same here

[@vanessamaury6751]

For anyone who’s lazy with the seasoning or doesn’t wanna have to get all the ingredients and has a Trader Joe’s nearby get the everything but the bagel seasoning! I work there and I actually know customers who really use it to make everything bagels it’s not everything Lauren used but it should work just fine

[@esotericone9101]

Yes, it is soooooo good!

[@dkaulitz13]

Marshalls too!

[@Sophie-kp4nc]

This is what dreams are made of 😭 I love cream cheese and everything bagels

[@shelbs4280]

I admittedly am not vegan, but truly respect and admire all those who are, especially you! You and these videos make being vegan look so manageable and delicious!

[@1029blue]

OMG! I just made your "cream cheese" (on bread with "Everything but the Bagel" seasoning on top), and it was so good! It had a tofu aftertaste when I tried it straight out of the food processor, but the next day, it was so creamy and delicious. Thanks for sharing.

[@sanne4419]

THE BASE IS TOFU AS A NUT ALLERGIC VEGAN IM SO HAPPY

[@sarahwise2140]

Sanne Same! I was dreading the usual cashew-based cream cheese blah blah blah and actually squealed when she said it was tofu-based!

[@anonchick4789]

Sanne I've used sunflower seeds instead of cashews in some recipes like vegan cheesecake and it works wonders! Just in case a recipe calls for cashews again

[@catherinebiermann7940]

It's great that there are multiple ways to make it. Since my daughter can't eat soy, tofu based dishes are out.... but cashew cream cheese works!

[@KKMakaykay]

My 2 year old has a cashew and peanut allergy I use sunflower seeds in place of cashews all the time. I was also very happy to see it nut free!

[@GardenMinistry.]

“I could die right now. I’d be fine. You wouldn’t be cause you’d miss me, but I’d be fine.” Hahaha 😂😂😂 yes Lauren!!

[@babulaorama]

Yasss thank you Lauren for making a cream cheese without cashews. (Highly allergic person here) I’m so looking forward to trying this!! Bagels are one of my favorite foods!

[@jayyyzeee6409]

Facts: 1. I love bagels. 2. I'm growing all those herbs in my garden. 3. These vegan bagels and cream cheese are my destiny.

[@hotforfood]

sounds like it!!!

[@racheljones1738]

Thank you thank you for a nut free cream cheese! I have a son allergic to nuts and he can’t have the good cream cheese store option! I was thinking of making this this week!

[@tatianabriceno2111]

I had to come to this channel bcs I breakout with nuts and I’ve been craving cream cheese & all of them have nuts well the ones at the stores

[@ThoseCrazySorokas]

I didn’t even know I needed this until you made this video. I have to make these ASAP.

[@emilner]

one thumb, two fingers is for sure the best way to remember this

[@hotforfood]

YUP!

[@TheRichAntArt]

And it's a very interesting title lol. Her bagels bring all the freaks to yard✌️👍🎵🎶

Everything bagels are EVERY. THING.

[@YTFlove4ever]

[@anythingg00394]

TBH im not even vegan.. But Lauren Toyota is a goddess

[@bumblingsahm]

i personally am SOOOOOO happy the cheese recipe is so simple with easy to find inexpensive ingredients! the price of cashews where I live is ridiculous! thank you for using tofu ! i'm going to make the cheese right now!

[@KlutzeeGirl]

You make being Vegan so much easier for me it was tough thinking about what to cook everyday. I haven’t had bagels or cream cheese for a very long time it’s time to go back thank you so much everything you do YOU ARE A LIFE Saver!!

[@KRequestrian]

(34 year old Aussie here) I had my first EVER bagel (with tofu cheese) in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and got crazy addicted to them - why are they not a thing here in Australia!? I found this video (jet lagged at 4am) after being more upset than I care to admit that nowhere within an hour's drive of me has them... You may have saved my life, here! SO excited to whip up a batch as soon as the shops open... Thank you so much Lauren!! xx

[@hotforfood]

yea I have NO idea why they aren't a thing in Australia!!!! haha but happy you found them :D

[@cipriantothazan294]

ohh sister, i just bought a full power blender, ill do the creme cheese, it sounds healthy and delicious

[@GrowUp0721]

Bagels and cream cheese are life.

[@GrowUp0721]

Tip for anyone who doesn't want to go buy bread flour to make these is to use 4 cups all-purpose flour + 4 teaspoons vital wheat gluten. No other changes. Came out AMAZING! Perfect crusty outside with a soft, chewy inside. Instant favorite recipe, Lauren! Thank you!

[@hotforfood]

sweet! good to know!

[@holisticmaya]

You know what I used to love before becoming vegan? Bagels with smoked salmon and cream cheese. I’ve heard of a vegan smoked salmon recipe that uses carrots baked covered in salt or something and apparently it’s almost the same as the real thing... could you try making it? Testing it out?:))

[@MeganDurka]

holisticmaya Mary’s Test Kitchen on KZbin did this! She’s amazing and extremely thorough.

[@puropinchepretty]

Try the faux salmon tomato recipe! Easier than the salty carrot, lol.

[@carlycoburn9]

If you have access to it try the Miyokos Un-Lox your dreams vegan cream cheese it is AMAZZZZZING on and everything bagel and totally satisfies my smoked salmon cravings. I know they sell it at trader joe’s!

[@garrisonridgway7494]

Just dont be vegan lol

[@cristinaferiozzo321]

Pretty sure the happy pear made them (and made a video on it), I made the carrot version and they're soooooooooo good it's crazy

[@Rolbysworld]

i know im like 3 years late here but you can also add vital wheat gluten to AP flour if you cant find bread flour in your grocery store! just add 1.5 tsp of vital wheat gluten to every cup of flour! hope this helps

[@hotforfood]

YES you can do this. AND I found that out after this as well :D

[@JulianaAbate]

I’m so excited to try this omg I want to make them right now

[@yolandastanford9223]

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren these bagels and cream cheese are sooooooooo good!!!! I had not had a bagel in 2-1/2 years and because of your talent that changed TODAY! Thank you so much!!

[@BreaknRemake]

“I should sell these. For sure.” That was so funny! Lol

[@rachelcurl9969]

They're freaking gorgeous. This is truly my favorite bagel-cream cheese combo too.

[@shelbytaylor25]

Lauren, thank you. I drooled my way through the whole video. I also used to get an everything bagel w herb and garlic a few times a week at Tim’s in high school because it was close and it was cheap. Thank sooooo much for a vegan version!

[@mzoesp]

This is amazing. Veganism is magic.

[@hotforfood]

truly

[@brianatwell8969]

Made the cream cheese because in vegan cream cheese in Bangkok is nonexistent! It is delicious. Kids, husband, myself, we can’t stop eating it. Love that it’s made from tofu too, so much cheaper and less fattening than tons of cashews. Just wanted to tell you I was a skeptic, but trusted you, and we loved it!

[@kaitlynhunter1068]

Coincidence maybe but I've been eating at least 2 everything bagels w vegan cream cheese since saturday and i just ran out of bagels today 🤔🤔 thank you lauren for reading my mind

[@abigailccc]

I made the cream cheese this morning and it's the best thing in the world! Lauren's a miracle worker!!!

[@deannalovesmakeup]

Girl I’m from New York and the amount of seeds you packed on those bad boys is making me proud! Making this ASAP!

[@youruniverse6900]

These bagels really are amazing. I've made numerous bagels but these are the best! The tofu cream cheese is also amazing. I didn't have apple cider vinegar and just used grape vinegar but it was divine. These are now my go to receipes for bagels and cream cheese! Thank you for sharing and thank you for such a fabulous tutorial!

[@hotforfood]

Glad you like them! thanks for letting others know xo

[@fionamaree6576]

Lauren has done it again !!! I have no words to explain how good this recipe is. You said put the cream cheese in the fridge and you will thank you later even after it was just made it was epic. Thanks Lauren for another wonderful recipe !!!!! 💕

[@edge2127]

Making dough from scratch or just baking in general has always been kind of daunting for me but when I watch your videos you make it look so easy and it inspires me to just get in the kitchen and make all this amazing food!

[@hotforfood]

its honestly not hard once you do it!

[@emilybaker1122]

Great recipe for bagels! Just moist enough, dense, flavourful. I couldn’t stop eating them and gave them to people I knew who also LOVED them.

[@thepowerofcheesecake]

Those thumbs and fingers in that bagel... you weren't kidding when you said you were Hot for Food xD

[@sitadosramos4214]

YES!! OMG! This has been missing from my life! I LOVE everything bagels and herb & garlic cream cheese! Also ate it everyday in high school!

[@Ana-ns7ek]

Waiting for your own cafe and/or restaurant, Lauren! Thank you for blessing my life with these bagels. Peace and love!

[@chtitmog]

I don't eat bagels. But in Lauren I trust, because Lauren is my queen. Soooooo, I'll be making these with the vegan cheese and I can't wait to try them all!! I also can definitely smell success amongst my non-vegan friends at the next party, which is always fun and rewarding. Thank you, Lauren!! x Davie

[@hotforfood]

hope you LOVE THEM!

[@kimsloan1365]

Oh my wow....those look freaking amazing and delicious!! Everything bagels are my favorite and with the garlic herb cream cheese.....it’s gonna make my tongue slap my brain!! You rock sister!! Thanks for all the vegan food and love!! 😊👍

[@zw7719]

Please Lauren, you NEED to sell these and teach tim hortons a lesson! They need to veganize their stuff! Looks so good! Before this video, I saw teasers on instagram and I was like, that seemed way too complicated. but this video has inspired me to actually try making the bagels myself! Thanks

[@poochyface1]

This is the best cream cheese vegan ever. Wow Thank you for sharing with us. I've been diagnosed with gout and I've been looking for vegan recipes ever since. Not easy to find good tasting food with vegan, but this is absolutely delicious. Thank you, thank you , thank you

[@hotforfood]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kimberlybritt6926]

Lauren this is a dangerous recipe... I’m obsessed with bagels I’m gonna wanna eat this every day omg

[@runswithrabbits2470]

Holy shit those look good! 🤤 I'm drooling over here 🤤

[@JenniefromPDot]

Ok, I cannot be the only one thinking of the variations! Garden vegetable with vegan lox, strawberry cream cheese with a cinnamon bagel...Lauren, you've just shattered the mold on vegan breakfast!

[@OmenaOmega]

to be honest using tofu as a base for the cream cheese did not look convincing at first, I don't know it sounded too simple to be true maybe? but I tried it and OH MY GOD what kind of sorcery is this?? the texture was perfect, the the taste is on point, this cream cheese was totally undistinguishable from the dairy version. So far I used it as a spread on pumpernickel bread, and as a filling in kartoffeltaschen (bot no bagels) and it was delicious, I'm very impressed by this recipe

[@hotforfood]

YESSS happy you weren't scared off! TOFU IS LIFE!

[@webmeupscotty]

Your bagel joy is EXTREEM!! and i love it.

[@Tempehbacon]

i didn't make these yet but i did immediately go buy everything bagels and cream cheese (vegan) bc omg looks sooo good!

[@christinacole4331]

Lauren you are a vegan QUEEN! This is the best (and only truly good) vegan cream cheese I've had. This is going to be a go-to for my breakfasts for a very long time 😊

[@ma_sabella00]

I made the cream cheese yesterday and I must say that I was not sure because of the tofu but... holly guacamole this tastes legit. I would recommend to put a lot of cream cheese on your bread because it just tastes the best like that. Please try it out!! My family loved it too 😍

[@hotforfood]

WOO HOO! Glad you powered through to give it a try :D

[@youcantcatchthefox]

I just made these and had to stop myself after eating two, and sent my brother with one to work so he can give it to the chef! a few weeks ago I made your coffee cake and everyone was obsessed so I cant wait for the reviews of more vegan foods I bring them!

[@youcantcatchthefox]

btw I got extra firm tofu but I still think its not firm enough? I squeezed so much water out and it turned out great but still isn't as thick as yours, even after sitting in the fridge for 12 hours.

[@linzertube]

Some of Timmies bagels ARE vegan....you just have to ask them which ones. Maybe you can sell them your cream cheese and also convince them to use non-dairy milks. I am so excited to try this! Great job, Lauren!💗

[@hotforfood]

ONE DAY

[@Thekaygurl]

Drooling!! 🥐🤤 Love your videos & cookbook Lauren! You make my husband eat vegan when I never thought it would be possible!

Many of Tim Hortons' bagels are vegan, including plain, 12 grain, everything, cinnamon raisin, blueberry, and pretzel. ... Not all of Tim Hortons bagels are vegan. Check out their allergen guide before ordering to confirm that your favorite bagel is vegan .

[@hotforfood]

k but then what can you even put on it ;/

[@breemac600]

foods sadly nothing yet why we needed your recipe it's hard being a vegan that works at Tim's

[@breemac600]

@@hotforfood I'm hoping they get more vegan options soon

[@supermolike]

hot for food you can ask for jam! Or peanut butter they use the typical craft teddy beat peanut butter or even ask for a veggie sandwich on a bagel but make sure to sub the typical cream cheese it comes with for yellow mustard!

[@hotforfood]

ya but nuthin good!

The cream cheese didnt have enough flavor for me. I will try adding my herbs and salt. Texture is very similar to regular cream cheese.

[@TheRichAntArt]

I love how happy good food makes Lauren. I know it makes me dance and if I'm sitting I wiggle my toes.

[@nells6048]

Made these. Both were delicious separately, but together...fabulous and easy to do. Btw, I didn't have bread flour, but I added one teaspoon of vital wheat gluten to each cup of AP flour. Oh, I kneaded mine in my food processor with the regular 's' blade until a dough ball forms. I didn't need all the water. Thanks for testing so we don't have to!

[@emilynaifeh1955]

Seriously, these are even easier (with easier to find ingredients) than ‘normal’ bagels! I will have to make these.

Ahhh I'm so excited to make bagels now!!! Thank you!

[@kaycibacker8278]

lauren HOW DID YOU KNOW i've been craving bagels and cream cheese this week?! WHAT

[@lukehenly]

Authentic bagels are traditionally boiled in a blend of water and malt syrup or diastatic malt powder. It gives bagels the dark brown chewy crust and distinct flavor, adds a mild sweetness (just over half as sweet as white sugar - sucrose), and aids in yeast proofing, among other qualities. You may want to experiment with it!

[@88Mikje123]

I'm always REALLY hesitant about recipes with a base of tofu because I don't like to taste tofu in things like this, but I gave it another try and OMG I can't taste the tofu at all. It's SO GOOD!!! This is the best way to eat tofu for sure
