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

[@msbuttafly112]

I recently made both Airfryer & Baked Homemade Bagels! These were trial-and-error recipes! Homemade is amazing & better, in my opinion. 🥯

[@princessalways4eva]

EXACTLY!😃

[@JanicePhillips]

We LOVE bagel pizzas here. I'm stirring up the dough right meow! ❤😹✌

[@MelissaLhagan]

I like putting the everything bagel seasoning as the add in.

[@scrapykat3028]

I love my homemade bagels. Watching for inspiration and new ideas…

[@charmainemrtnz]

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! ❤

[@missymyers7043]

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!!

[@melissagammon9420]

Fellow Maine girl here…nothing more beautiful than the blueberry fields in Cherryfield, Maine…which produces 99% of the country’s blueberries 😊

[@lindasewell1810]

Maine blueberries are the best.I'm a northern Maine person but have relatives on the coast. I remember my grandmother making blueberry cake from blueberries we picked. Yummy!

[@psw47]

I'm also from Maine! The Western Foothills..we have blueberry bushes in our yard that are so delicious! Thanks Becky for the video, I am totally going to make some bagels now! 🫐💜🫐💙

[@lolal1026]

Best blueberries I've ever had were from Maine !! & lobster too

[@pt6108]

Thought there was going to be a bear in your story!😄

[@melaniecalderon8973]

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 😅

[@TLadret]

I was going to say the same, and to expand on that, just surprised that her recipe didn’t tell her to put baking soda and molasses in the boiling water. I’ve never seen a recipe that didn’t call for that.

[@kitford513]

@@TLadret I've only seen adding malt syrup to the water. But these aren't real bagels anyway.

[@kammkelly]

Exactly this!

[@melaniecalderon8973]

Correct I've always added baking soda to help the crust brown.. but she didn't seem to have any issues with the crust by skipping this step.

[@JacquieG]

@@kitford513 why do you say they are not real bagels?

[@marilynnorford7049]

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!

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

Yes, when I form my bagels, once done I go over them a second time. You really want them too look way too big. Like twice the size at least of a hole than you want in the final product. Also, after I do the final shape I cover with plastic and let them sit overnight in the fridge. This breaks up your time and lets the bread develop more flavor.

[@sheripino8606]

Thanks for the tip! I will try that today on my next batch of bagels.

[@JustMe-bu1ln]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Mandachu85]

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

[@murlthomas2243]

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.

[@pamelamathis6515]

So I wasn't the only one who saw the slice of jalapeno on the center of the mixer blade! 😂 I came here to also tell her that her math wasn't off. 👍✌️

[@chrisboulware1864]

Me too!!!🤣😂🤣

[@melissagammon9420]

Becky could make pouring cereal fun to watch :)

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw thanks! I plan to try and make homemade cereal at some point soon

[@michellesanchez741]

Completely agree

[@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!

[@AcreHomestead]

Aw tell her I said hi! Thank is so sweet :) thanks for watching

[@cma8878]

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!

[@janetcarter6975]

Love watching your dogs peering through the glass door.

[@melissagammon9420]

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

[@JuBeeJuBeeJu]

I love that Josh needed to express the fact that he didn't feel threatened by the knife. So cute. 😊

[@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. ❤ 🥯

[@robinia23]

I have never been soo early! So glad to be here and watch it together friends! ❤❤

[@marthalorden8498]

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.

[@lindadavenport5420]

I noticed that she hadn't put in enough flour also.

[@dianepace7376]

Yep you're right. Easy to do when trying to talk and work at the same time.

[@user-dl5wb4wl9l]

Hi Becky 😊. Thank you for teaching and not belittling those of us who are learning. Appreciate you ❤

[@heatheramador4607]

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!

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

[@lynnm8900]

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

[@pamelagraham3100]

The best baking youtube I have ever watched!

[@sortathesame8701]

We used to take our kids to NYC once a year to see a Broadway play, but every time we took a couple of empty suitcases so we could bring back dozens and dozens of bagels from a bagel factory. They froze beautifully! Good memories! Back then all that luggage flew free too!

[@sheilaflory2541]

Spill the goods - which factory?

[@marthasherod9007]

NY City bagels are the best. It's the OG.

[@angiebrockett7621]

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

[@ashleyashcraft1754]

I have a love hate relationship with making bagels. They are so good and totally worth it but they are a labor of love.

[@melodystull19]

A tip for future I used little squares of parchment to make bagels on then when you boil them just pick up paper and all and put in the water before flipping them paper comes right off Then after boiling place them on a full sheet of parchment to bake This helps with not deflating your dough

[@kyliestark7356]

You set that kitchen up so well for everything. All the baking stuff so close and so good for filming xxx

[@1netie]

Just a tip, when you shake your measuring cup to level out the flour, you are compacting the flour therefore using more flour than called for. Just fluff flour, dip cup in and level it off with the back of a butter knife.

[@indiging8330]

The only way to be accurate is to measure in grams

[@susanwilliams1881]

Thanks for sharing

[@LJ416-yo8bq]

I see she's given up on the scale already.

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

As a precise, meticulous baker, the way she measures with incorrect measurements freak me out. I cringe seeing a liquid measure cup used for dry, etc. But…you do you. Becky is still going to have bagels, bread, cake etc. it’s just going to be heavier. I’ve seen plenty of Nona’s that bake like they cook, a toss of this or that, and it gets food on the table. 😊

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

When I don’t weigh baking ingredients, I do the Martha Stewart cheat: fluff my flour container with a whisk, gently scoop, then gently pour into measuring cup, then level.

[@carolynmills513]

Omgoodness...my mouth is watering! Love bagels, but i have been intimidated by them.

[@doreenfell9480]

Watching you guys do the taste test made me so hungry for bagels 😂. Great job Becky 🥰

[@user-mc3tp5sd2z]

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.

[@annmartin5988]

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!

[@donnadelevieleuse9564]

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

Can’t wait to try the bagel recipe! Forgot to comment on your video about hand pies. Living in England I know exactly the hot water pastry and make it for my Cornish pasties, or they make it for something called pork pies, using lard. It must be said I’m not a lover of pork pies, as they call for flavoured gelatin in them. Also, am a big fan of the television show you’re referring to, in fact the female presenter in U.K. is leaving and not sure who is going to replace her. Can’t wait to see who they will replace her with.

And she loves what you're doing and you have inspired her to do cooking/baking/homesteading that she has never done before. You're an inspiration to her and of course many others. She mentioned this video on the bagels. Blessings.
