My son loves fresh bagels and trips to the local bagel shop. In my Pumpkin Spice Bagel recipe post<\/a>, I shared my motivation for learning to make bagels at home. Even though I don\u2019t eat too many bagels myself (carb load!) I enjoy making them for my kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything bagels are one of the tastiest flavors in the variety that we\u2019ve found available. They also happen to be Harmon\u2019s favorite flavor. He is the motivation for these bagel posts. If it weren't for my kids it would be so much easier to avoid carbohydrates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know so many people prefer to skip reading and go straight to the recipe so if that\u2019s you, feel free to move ahead, but I\u2019d like to explain why I am sharing these recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My kids and well, other members of my extended family, come to my website to grab recipes of foods that I\u2019ve made. They also understand my way of explaining how to make things in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was a child, there were certain foods that my mom made that I enjoyed and wanted to make when I became an adult. I\u2019ve repeatedly asked my mom for those recipes, and eventually, I asked her if I could put one of them on my website. For example Mom's Kraut Burgers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other recipes, I\u2019ve been making for my family for decades, and now that they are grown and on their own, they want to make them in their own kitchens: such as the Healthiest Bar Ever Recipe for the Family<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that is why I have these recipes on my website. So my family can find them and make them no matter how far away they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes about everything bagels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s really not that hard to make bagels. Actually, the process is quite enjoyable. I wouldn\u2019t whip up a batch of these on a weekday morning before work or school. They\u2019re easy enough to make over the weekend though when you can do something else while the dough rises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to try these, is all that I\u2019m saying. If you have a bread machine, you can even make the dough on the dough setting. After it rises, turn it out on the floured surface and knead more flour into it because you don\u2019t want the dough to be too puffy or soft. A bread machine or stand mixer will do fine for the most part but to make your bagels chewy, you'll need to add in more flour by kneading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bagels are dense and they need to be able to hold up in the water bath. So go ahead and knead in a bit more flour during that process, but not too much! Balance is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the everything seasoning mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What is everything bagel seasoning? Usually, it's a blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic flakes, and sea salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costco has everything bagel seasoning in bulk, and if you\u2019re a huge fan like we are, that might be the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you don\u2019t have a membership or don\u2019t need that much seasoning, go for Trader Joe\u2019s smaller bottle of everything but the bagel seasoning<\/a>. I\u2019ve used both and the taste is very similar, though Costco's blend might be a touch saltier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t live near Costco or TJ\u2019s you may need to buy the blend online<\/a> (it\u2019s way more expensive on Amazon than in the store!) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use an entire Trader Joe's sized bottle on our bagels as we sprinkle the tops and bottoms of all eight of them. If that\u2019s too \u201ceverything\u201d for you, just sprinkle on as much as you think you\u2019ll like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can mix your own using 2 tablespoons of everything except for the salt. Depending on what type of salt you use and how salty you like things try 1 to 1 and 1\/2 tablespoons :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
