I love your website! I love baking and making homemade stuff but it is sometimes hard to find a more healthy way to do it. I made these bagels and than toasted it. It was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing and all your hard work:)

i do proof my yeast and also let the dough rise for a bit. usually i put them in the frig over night until i have time in the morning to prepare. no shrinkage occurs. i do not broil them, that sounds like a step i can add next time and try. i do press a lot of garlic in mine….but that is just me!!! i love garlic!! i look forward to trying this recipe!!

If they shrivel up directly after boiling that most likely means they were left to rest for too long, so just shorten the rising time that should help.

Yum! The bagels are really good. Mine aren’t as big as the ones shown in the photo. After reading the reviews, I decided not to broil the bagels. As one of the reviewers suggested, I let it rest for 20 mins and then boiled it on each side for 30 secs. This recipe is definitely a keeper!!

I use maple syrup for my wheat bread and it works!

I am not sure why this is happening…hmmm. I am wondering if the yeast
is getting killed somewhere along the way. They should shrink a little
bit, but not a whole lot. I am wondering if they need to be made bigger
before they go into the water. I wish I could be more helpful.

We just made elderberry bagles with the elderberry mush left over from making syrup!
SO great!
I love the whole wheat.
Thanks!

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong either. They look great, until I boil them, then they shrink!
