How To Make New York Style Bagels 

Joshua! I've never told you but i found your recipe and tried making during covid. First batch was ok. So i kept on making. I'd give them away to friends to try. The bagels started getting real good and people wanted to buy them. So i obliged. Then more people wanted to buy, so i got a cottage license, and a business license and named my product Shelly Belly NY Bagels. That was 2 years ago. I experimented and wound up with 19 flavors. I opened my for real bagel shop 3/23/2023 - my 63rd birthday. 9/23 will be my 6 month anniversary. So thank you for this video and please please come visit in Pahrump, NV. Small town and I'm the only bagel in it.

As a new yorker thats worked in a bagel shop with my father for years i give this my approval

I STARTED BAKING NY BAGELS 6 MONYHS AGO, i now have the process down pat, they are spectacular. Just had one for breakfast. I'm only 88yrs old. Thank You, "G"

Interesting to see how his style has changed over 3 years

New York Style Bagels By Joshua Weissman Ingredients: 500g bread flour (about 3.5 cups) 23g white sugar (about 1.5 tablespoons) 10g instant dried yeast (about 1 tablespoon or 1 packet) 297g warm water @90 degrees Fahrenheit (about 320 ml) 6g salt (1.5 teaspoons) Everything Bagel Seasoning(optional): 2 tablespoons dried garlic flakes 2.5 tablespoons dried onion flakes 1.5 tablespoons white sesame seeds 1 tablespoon poppy seeds 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds 1/2 tablespoon flakey salt or kosher salt (ideally flakey) Directions: 1. Bloom yeast in 90°F/32°C water, add sugar and stir until dissolved, let rest for 10 minutes (especially if using older yeast), give one more stir after waiting. 2. Into a large bowl add flour, salt and yeast/water mixture, combine with hands until a shaggy dough is formed 3. Turn dough out to work surface and knead for 10 minutes, form into a ball and place in a large oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel and let rest for 1 hour 4. Punch down dough and turn out to lightly flour work surface, divide into 8 equal pieces (weigh the whole dough and divide by 8), shape each piece into a ball by rolling it between your hand and un-flour worksurface. Place in a floured sheet pan, cover with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes. 5. While you wait combine Everything bagel seasoning ingredients if desired. 6. After the dough has rested pinch with floured fingers through the middle of a dough ball, and twirl in between 2 fingers to enlarge the hole, up to an inch. 7. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, after it’s boiling reduce the heat to a gentle boil/simmer. Drop bagels into boiling water, in a single layer and leave room for expansion, boil for 1-2 minutes per side. After boiling place into an oiled sheet pan. 8. Brush each bagel with an egg wash (1 egg and 1 Tbsp of water), sprinkle with the desired seasoning. 9. Place in a 425°F/218°C preheated oven for 20 minutes.

I made the bagels for breakfast today and me and my family absolutely loved them 😍😍😍 I left them in the boiling water for 1 minute each and they're absolutely fluffy 😍 Sprinkled them with sesame and the other half with sea salt. 100% will make them again. Thank you for the video!

I made this yesterday and they turned out to be a hit! Made half as everything bagels and the other half plain, as per recommendation. I ended up cooking them for another two minutes to get a better color, but wish I ended up sticking with the solid 20 mins in the oven. This recipe, if you follow using grams, is quite literally perfect. I am a bagel fanatic, and these are some of the best I’ve had, and it was my first time making bagels!

These are the best bagels I have ever made. All of Josh’s recipes are solid. I love his videos and commentary, too! These bagels are literally THE BOMB.

So I came here for a single recipe and you gained a subscriber

I Made these instead of partying this New Years'. So glad I did my husband had everything bagels and I had Poppy Seeds. Most Definitely worth a try, and this was my very first time attempting making bagels. Totally worth it.

Me: missing 1 project, and 5 assignments Still me: "yea i still have time to make bagels"

I tried this on a lark this morning with my son, and they are the best bagels I have tasted. We had a blast! Thank you so much for this incredible recipe. It was much easier than I thought it would be.

This is probably my favorite YT video ever. The music, the recipe, the no BS and of course, the bagels. Thank you, from a misplaced New Yorker stuck in NC! ❤️🙌🏻

Been baking for years but I've never made bagels before. Tried this recipe yesterday, and - Wow, honestly best bagels I've ever had. Won't ever go back to store bought again. Thanks, absolutely spectacular recipe.

I keep coming back to this recipe. Made this at least a dozen times already. I use bobs red mill artisan bread flour and it turns out. Delicious. Every. Time.

The first video I ever watched by you. Been part of the journey watching you ever since. You've helped me with my cooking skills more than you know. Thank you for everything you do and the love you put into your work. Love u papa xx

As a native New Yorker who’s moved from the city and missed this the most. I have to say thank you. I never would’ve thought I could recreate home ❤️

I used a ton of the techniques you mentioned here to make bagels for the first time. The way you lay things out made it one of the best new baking experiences I've had. Thanks for posting this insightful and playful recipe. You're a damn good creator.

I made these yesterday and they were amazing. I've never made bagels before, but they were better than you can really find around here. Having fresh bagels is so great, I will make this recipe over and over. Also, the other recipes from this channel I've tried are the "Greatest Dinner Rolls" and the coffee ice cream. Joshua, you are bringing so much joy and tastiness to my life!

I have made this recipe about a dozen times now, and they are honestly the best bagels my wife and I have ever had.

Tried this recipe over the weekend and it was so good! Instead of making the seasoning, I used the “ everything bagel” seasoning from Trader Joe’s!

Just made these. They were great. I will absolutely be making these again. I did, however, skip tasting the raw dough off of the damp towel after rising! Haha. Great bagels.

Dude, you are the coolest!! You are so good in front of the camera, and your sense of humor is charming. My wife and I would be so proud to have you as our grandson. We’re going to try to make bagels-like you’ve taught us-very soon. Here in Florida a bagel and lox breakfast is unheard of. It’s my favorite. Thanks for teaching us your craft. You’re terrific!!

It’s literally 12am and I’m currently waiting for my bagels in the oven :/ you convinced me! Lmao

"Now take out your aggression because you don't get paid enough" is NOT what I heard the first time 😂😂😂

Made these this morning- probably THE BEST tasting bagel I’ve had and SOOO easy to make!!! Thank you for ALL your wonderful and detailed videos!!

I've tried to make several RU-vid recipes, and something always goes wrong, but your recipes are WONDERFUL!! I made the donuts and now I made the bagels, and I'm in love!! They were super fluffy and delicious!!

This is my favorite bagel recipe. I’ve made it several times and I add shredded asiago cheese into the dough at the end of kneading, and on top after boiling. So yummy!

Thank you so much!! i grew up in ny and there was this amazing bagel shop we used to go to, but since I moved I’ve tried to find a good bagel and I just kept getting disappointed. I tried this recipe today and these bagels are amazing thank you so much and I love watching your videos

A little "hi" from France and a big "thank you" to you Joshua for this video. Good job here ! 6 pple ultra happy because of you :)

i made these a few months ago and they were the best bagels i’ve ever had!! thank you so much for this amazing recipe! gonna make some more soon!

I just made these bagels. They turned out fantastic and surprisingly easy. I was a bit intimated by the thought of boiling dough but that turned out to be an easy process. I have memories of true New York bagels. Store bought bagels just don't measure up. These however our so worth the little effort required. Thank you Joshua! This will become a regular recipe in our house. I appreciate your work and teaching the rest of us.

I tried this recipe and it turned out fantastic! I was looking for a simple ny style recipe and I would definitely recommend your recipe! They were a hit with my family👍🏼

That looks very simple, looking for a business to do in the Caribbean, I love bagels, might be on to a great business.

I just made these last night and they are fabulous. I added minced onion to the batch and sprinkled everything topping half. Great recipes and instructions along with light humor.

Wow! I just finished baking them - 4am in Brooklyn - and they are superb! Thank you for this great recipe!

These bagels are a ray of sunshine in a Corona laden world. When Costco stopped making parmesan cheese bagels during this pandemic, I made it my mission to duplicate them. I bought 25 pounds of all purpose flour + a bag of Gluten then I followed each step carefully. I felt like a Bagel Master on my first attempt. These puff up beautifully & are slightly chewy, with great flavor. Joshua, THANKS SO MUCH for the Bagel education!

The dude that talks to the cupboard. You just gotta love him ❤️

I made these. 1st time bagel maker. They turned out amazing. Easy to follow recipe. Thank you Joshua!!🥰👍

I used this video to help me make bagels for the first time ever & they turned out AMAZING! Thank you!

These bagels looked so awesome I had to try the recipe myself! Thanks for demystifying it and showing how easy it is.

I just made these and let me just say, now that I've tried them, the mess that's left in my kitchen right now is totally worth it!

OMG I just finished making these & they came out PERFECT! WoW I'm blown away 😳 I can't wait to tweak the recipe and create different variations 😋

I like how this just came into the recommendations. And looking at how much he's changed with his presentation and cooking skills and all those But Better and But Cheaper series' over these years. He's improved a lot ❤️ Love from India ❤️

Thanks so much for this video! I’ve always wanted to try bagels but most recipes seemed so daunting. After watching this, I made them the next day. They are delicious and my daughter said they were the best bagels she’s ever had!

In love with this recipe. Perfect chewiness. Never going to buy store or shop bagels again. I usually make these on a Sunday for the week.

Just tried this recipe yesterday!! Followed the recipe to the T with the scale and all. SOOO GOOD. Fresh out the oven was heavenly. A day later after being stored in a ziplock bag they were still pretty soft. I had to sub half of the bread flour for AP flour and still worked well

This recipe made my year. Haven’t had a bagel close to this good ever since moving to California 6 years ago. Thank you for your contribution!!!! New York boy proud.

Just made these, and the bagels came out fantastic!! The recipe is amazing and the way you’ve explained everything in details really made the process easier for me. Can’t believe I never made bagels before, and it seemed impossible to make till I saw this video. I generally enjoy you channel very much, keep creating amazing content for us ;) Cheers!

I freakin love these! Though, I have tweaked them a little. Instead of everything seasoning, I use a 4 cheese blend of fontina,parm,asiago and provolone and when I tell you its the best thing I've ever had, I'm not lying! My tweakings go like this; ♡I substitute 3/4 of SEMOLINA FLOUR for the bread flour. So that would be 2 3/4 bread flour and 3/4 semolina (duram wheat) flour ♡2 teaspoons salt ♡1 1/2 tblspoon sugar ♡I add shaved 4 cheese blend and a tiny handful of shredded into the dough while I knead it. Then, instead of everything seasoning, I put lots of the shredded 4 cheese blend on there! I hope if any cheese lovers try them this way, they enjoy them!!

Today was the day I tried your NY bagel recipe, and I’ve never made homemade bagels EVER! I printed your recipe out, and followed along with your video. They were friggin delicious , and I’ll be making your recipe forever. I grew up on NY bagels, and these are just as delicious! Plus, yours is a super low sodium recipe too. Thank you for making this video so super easy, so we can make your bagels! I’ll be doubling the batch next time, and freezing some!

Amazing and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you gave gram and traditional measurements!!

Followed this recipe and honestly made the best bagels Ive ever had! Thank you 🙏

Nice one, Weismann.... just looking at the crumbing, those bagels are nicely chewy. I am always impressed by chefs and cooks who recite the recipe in grams and in conventional measurements. Thanks always😊

Never tried bagels before. And after I watched this, I tried to make one. It's so great! Crunchy outside and chewy inside. Thanks for the recipe, it makes my first time experience eating bagel resulting with good memories

This recipe is absolutely perfect!! Just made mine and it finished instantly in my house. The mix of crunch and chew you get from this bagel is crazy and the best part of it all, it tastes like a bagel you would buy from a legit bakery!!! You guys really need to try this recipe. Also, btw, I followed everything in this recipe to the T along with weighed measurements so I suggest you guys follow it as well to get maximum results. Thanks for the recipe Joshua! Such a huge fan!!!

Made these today and they turned out perfect! I used 297ml of water (297 gm), NOT 320ml.

I have literally become famous amongst family and friends because of your bagels. Like, they are one of the best bagels I've ever had. And I never knew how easy it was to make them, too.

Just baked these. They are absolutely delicious. Nothing like what we bought in shops . Love the recipe. Thanks

I tried this recipe today. It worked perfectly and the result was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe, Jos.

Love this recipe! I always get the best results with it. I also put honey in the boiling water so that it gives the bagels a good amount of color

I learned one thing today: I LOVE THE SMELL OF BLOOMING YEAST.

Made these today and it was so easy! They came out perfect and will make these again but add different toppings next time. Such a great and simple recipe!!

Today is the 3rd time we are making bagels since saw the recipe last July. My wife & daughters love it. Thanks to you😊

Crazy to see how much he’s grown as a content realtor since this video.

I've just made this recipe and I'm shocked of how good it is!!!!! You're awsome

I made these this morning and everyone loved them

I made 2 batches today. These were absolutely delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe.

I made these with regular flour and added some baking powder to the water when I boiled them. They still turned out really well. Thank you for this recipe!

Yo. Just found your channel and real into it dude. Keep up the good work man.

I tried this recipe and they turned out amazing! I just got a denser dough because I probably didn't put enough water on it, but they were so tasty and chewy!

Thank you for your slow step by step explanation as if you were teaching to a child. I made this morning and it turned out great!!! Thx from Korea.

You know the video is old When josh says “what is up guys I’m Joshua weissman” at the beginning of the video

These bagels are amazing!! Also the everything seasoning has become a staple in my household

Making these right now! This recipe looks fantastic! Just threw them in the oven and looking great so far! Also thank you to the person below who wrote out the recipe from the video!

The bagels were a huge success. My coworkers loved them and enjoyed making them for the first time. Thank you for sharing!

Those bagels hit the spot

Thank you!!! Best recipe everrr!!! I’ve tried making bagels in the past but they’ve came out dense like fruit cake! Lmao I’ve been improving on my baking during this quarantine and I really appreciate your videos! Cheers mate!❤️

As a baker from Nicaragua i thank you and salute you , you make my life easy and all the people from here happy. Muchas gracias

Out of all the recipes I have seen for bagels on RU-vid, I think your recipe is better than the others. I will be looking into making my own bagels next month

Thanks, Gonna make some of these this weekend.. my own modifications to the seasoning though. gonna try for a sweeter version.. maybe some reconstituted raisins and cinnamon.

"Just mix it with your hands. You don't need to use a whisk or a spoon just use your hands. It's gonna be ok, you can wash your hands." haha, that made my day! I love working with my hands.

Great recipe, me and my family loved them and are planning on making them quite often. Thank you so much!

Just took mine out of the oven. I use to think people who were bagel 🥯 crazy, were...crazy. But! These bagel are everything. Especially with the Everything Bagel seasoning. OMG where have these bagels been all my life?!?! Thank you so much! Wish I could post a picture they came out amazing!

Thanks for the recipe! The whole entire process felt like a breeze and the bagels turned out great. 👍🏾 👌🏾

For some reason I've been scared to try making these. They turned out perfect on the first try.

I made these for my bagel loving husband last week and he said “these are the best bagels”. We’re former NYers, now living in NM, we know what good NY bagels are suppose to taste like, THIS right here. Bagels are now on my things to make each week list. Thank you.

We love everything bagels in my home. It's like nearly $4 to buy about 5 bagels at the store. Even my daughter who is 7 and used to never like onion before, loves them! 😁 going to have to try making some myself! I have recently gotten into break baking and found it to be quite enjoyable! Thank you!

Quarantine brought me here and the recipe turned out amazing! 10/10 would recommend for a days worth of entertainment with a delicious outcome.

That slice of tomato falling down gracefully was the highlight of my (quarantine) day.

I made these this morning. I've never tried making bagels before and they were awesome! I love your channel!

Thank you so much for sharing your technique. The presentation was wonderful. My mouth is still watering.

For traditional new york bagels use something called barley malt syrup (2-3 tbs) instead of sugar in the water yeast mixture. you can also add some to the boiling process but it can get sticky.

Made them last night, and they were great. My husband loved them, too. Greetings from Serbia.

I tried your recipe today and I love it!!! Chewy soft and yummy bagels! Full of flavour with all the toppings. Keep posting recipes! 👍😃

I just followed this recipe and made these and they came out soooooo good 🙌🏼

Didn’t know I needed this until now 😂😭 I miss my NY bagels

Many many many have asked here is the answer...".Bread Flour: Bagels require a high protein flour. Bread flour is a must."

Gosh, but these were nothing short of astounding. Yesterday after removing from the oven, I noted a light feel in the hand, and a "fluffy" texture....this morning at breafkast, these bagels were totally the real deal, regarding a wonderful chew without heavy denseness. Way to go Joshua, you've done a wonderful service in sharing. You are also funny and enjoyable to watch!

I have made this recipe 10 times and it is easy to make and makes bagels better than anything I can buy around here. Love ‘em!
