  • These bagels are magical - we swear! They're chewy but tender, with a blistered crust that's eggshell thin and perfectly crisp. The trick is to pre-cook a portion of the flour and water on the stovetop, which improves browning and moisture retention and leads to bagels that won't turn into bricks overnight.They'll stay fresh for days! Stella Parks, AKA Bravetart, will show you how.

    Wow. Non-traditional with the yukone step is right, but the results speak (and taste!) for themselves! I’ve made these twice now and the flavor and texture is just like home which for me was the Lower East Side. Not sure how long these last cause we ate the batches up same day, but this recipe is a winner-best home bagel result I’ve ever achieved! Thank you so much for the method!

      Follow-up-I’ve just made these bagels now for the 15th or 20th time. Spectacular recipe.
      I do a couple different things I might suggest, but as written results are fabulous-I’m just sharing what works better for me.
      I do add about 3/4 tsp of commercial dough enhancer to the recipe to supplement the yeast growth.
      I have a vintage Hobart KitchenAid K-5A from the 70’s-still a workhorse after 50-ish years or so-and I do knead the dough 10 minutes in this machine rather than using the food processor. I don’t recommend using any of the currently available non-Hobart KitchenAids for this since only the vintage Hobart KitchenAids have motors and drive-chains strong enough to knead this heavy a dough.
      I can go directly to forming the bagels after a 1.5-2 hour rise, or then refrigerate the risen dough overnight for forming the next day.
      I also happen to have a combination steam-injection oven (a Miele) and I brush the formed and risen bagels with egg wash(!) and sprinkle over an “everything” bagel mixture I get from Trader Joe’s before steaming the formed and risen bagels for 6 minutes then baking at 395 degrees F. for 20-25 minutes.
      These bagels are fabulous fresh, fresh and toasted, and day-old (wrapped with parchment paper, not bagged in plastic) and toasted. Just a spectacular recipe and technique for a true New York style bagel at home.
      Thank you again so much for the recipe!

    Yo! Bravetart! One, you #$%^ing rock! B, son has nut allergies and is coming home for XMAS, so I'll make them this weekend and freeze them. No wait, I'm going to Cape May. Ok. Next weekend. Nope. I have to work Saturday and Sunday (OT). The weekend after damn! Gotta travel to DC. Need them for XMAS Eve breakfast. Fine. I'm Superman. I'll figure it out. Anyway, I am confident in my abilities to create your culinary chewiness, so yeah. Thank you. Woo hoo! I'm a gunna make me some beguls!

    I have a stand mixer with a dough hook - but no food processor. Can this work with a mixer?

      It depends. Mixers with plastic gears will break, but mixers with metal gears can handle.

      I tried a stand mixer, it took me about 20 minutes😂 because the dough is stiff... I think food processor works best
