Is this rapid-rise yeast? This may be a brand as it's been a long time since I've bought yeast in a grocery store (I get active dry yeast in bulk from a co-op). I remember my mother told me a while ago that the rapid rise yeast gave her bread a funny flavor so I've always stuck with active dry yeast. Have you had experience with any of this? I've been making bagels with active dry yeast for a while and I'm really excited about your egg bagels. Thanks for the substitution suggestions! I’m wondering about your use of instant yeast.

Followed the recipe to a T. Somebody I work with worked in a bagel store and the bagel stores all high gluten flour. I used bread flour which did the job. Wonder where I can high gluten flour from? But..about 4-5 of bagels them on one of the sides came out alittle too crispy hard with a rough surface. Maybe I boiled them too long. Any suggestions. but these were I tried this actual recipe over the weekend and they came out fluffy and delicious.

I love Whole Wheat bagels, but I am too afraid to use whole wheat flour without knowing the new bread flour and water ratio, etc. Can you help? Thank you, Starry A little while ago, I made the egg bagels. They were very good. I had difficulty incorperating the last 3/4 c. flour, because I was doing it by hand. In the end, the bagels turned out an interesting molten yellow and white since I didn't have a mixer to thouroghly mix everything, but they were super tasty! The texture was perfect. I will definately do again soon. Michelle, I have a question. :) Do you have a recipe for Honey Whole Wheat bagels?

I'd tried adapting the BBA recipe, but I started by just guessing how much egg to add. Went with three yolks, and the results were okay, but definitely not sufficiently eggy. So this confirms, pretty much directly from Reinhardt himself, I need to add more yolk. Guess I'll have to make some macarons or something with all the leftover egg white.

My husband has like egg bagels for years but for some reason they're really hard to find in our small rural community - they don't come into our grocery stores very often, and when they do I buy up as many as I can to freeze so that he can get his fix :) At least now I can try some fresh ones. Thank you for sharing. These bagels look amazing, and I can’t wait to try them.

However, they were not quite as chewy as a real NY bagel usually is...not sure why. I used King Arthur bread flour, so maybe I should have gotten some vital wheat gluten to add? Also, my poor standard Kitchen Aid mixer couldn't stand the mixing for too long, so I had to knead for awhile. I didn't get to add the last 1/2 cup flour due to my kneading by hand, so the outside was nice and shiny/satiny, but the inside of the dough was still a tiny bit tacky when I cut and shaped the bagels. I'm guessing this affected the overall chewiness, too. Can't complain, though because they really did turn out nicely and taste great. One odd thing - the first half all puffed up beautifully after boiling/baking, but the second half (I left in the fridge a little longer) were more flat. Any ideas as to why?

They were good enough that I'll be trying them again...I wasn't satisfied with the inside texture - they seemed, for lack of a better word, grainy. Anyway, I blogged about it and linked back to you 'cause I was so stoked that they turned out.

Since this is an adaptation off the original recipe and some water is withheld to account for the egg yolks, you are right - it will be thicker than pancake batter. I will adjust the recipe so that it reads correctly. Thank you for your comment! Anna – You really do add 2 cups of water to 4 cups of flour.

Maybe home made bagels (or perhaps a trip to NY, NY) will convince my goy boy that they really are one of the best foods in the world. I LOVE bagels.
