Black Sesame Seed Bagels Black Sesame Seed Bagels
These are bagels for sandwiches, which you won't tire of.If the dough is too firm at Step 3, let it rest a little bit longer, or allow the dough to rise for a longer time in Step 6. It will help the dough become chewy, but fluffy.Add 1 tablespoon of malt syrup when boiling the dough. When the bagels are baked, they will be nicely browned, flavourful, and lustrous.

Soft Bagels Soft Bagels
I like chewy bagels, but I like soft and dense ones as well. These bagels can be used in many ways and are easy to eat.They're also good for sandwiches.Cover the dough with a damp cloth from the first rising to the shaping stage (Since the rising time is not very long, it is technically called “floor time”). Cloth is not needed during the second rising.For a smooth finish, remove the trapped air out of the dough really well before shaping the dough. Recipe by Masacchi -
Simple Bagels Simple Bagels
I wanted to use all purpose flour to make bagels for sandwiches. I put this recipe together to use up some whole wheat flour and rye. It's also a reminder for me.I've adjusted the amount of water so that the dough is easy to knead. Hence, I don't think you'll have much trouble kneading it.You could either use fine or coarsely ground whole wheat and rye. Also adjust the time for rising to your preference. Recipe by geosmin -

Millet Bagels Millet Bagels
There are lots of bagel recipes that contain cereal grains, but I hadn't seen one with millet. I love the appearance of the yellow millet, and the way the texture pops when I bite in is so much fun.You can omit Steps 3-5, and instead flatten the dough, punching a hole with your fingers and rotating to widen it as you might when making a doughnut.The millet may fall out of the dough when you are shaping it, so just press it back into the bagel after you are done shaping it, and it will stick in.

If you use Haruyutaka brand flour, using the amount indicated in this recipe may leave you with a sticky dough. So try using only 110 ml warm water instead. Recipe by Masacchi -

Tofu Bagel Tofu Bagel
I love my mother's bagels. I was taught to make these during a little visit. Please feel free to add any of your favorite flavourings.If the dough is too sticky in Step 4, there is not enough flour in the dough.Try adding your favorite flavorings to the dough. I think cinnamon, sesame, basil, or kuromame (black soy beans) are delicious.If you can't eat them hot out of the oven, wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them in an oven-toaster. For the finishing touch, draw back the foil and toast the top until it turns a lovely golden brown colour. Recipe by Makunouchi
