These are really glorified muffin's shaped like doughnuts, well that is if you can actually shape them. Mine were too runny to shape and ended up becoming basically muffin tops. They were decent but not what the recipe describes. Try your luck, obviously others have succeeded but as for me I'm moving along.

I really wanted to like this recipe and use it as a good ol' stand by in my kitchen but alas it was not meant to be. Sure it barely tastes like a bagel but it's really more of an eggy type of white bread. And even as a white bread it was average. The middle fell on my loaf that was made in my Zojirushi "Home Bakery" bread machine. You could try adding 2 eggs & maybe 1/4 to 1/3 more flour but in my book it wasn't worth experimenting with. As for my machine I increased the servings to 15 and it made a pretty normal size loaf. Anyway try some of the other reviewers tips and maybe you will have better luck, but as for me I'm moving on to new recipe adventures! (ps. if you post a review, tell us what bread machine you used, it would help others narrow down what works in which machine, thanks!)

Love the recipe as it is but making it your own by adding your favorite ingredients makes it the best! I've noticed a few people have had problems forming the bagels before boiling/baking them. Honestly you don't have to, just form them any way you like! Who says a bagel has to be circle? But if you want some help making the perfect bagel shape check out this video on YouTube --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ4oYhtUriQ&feature=related
