Cooking Directions

  • STEP 2.Add the warm water and molasses to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  • STEP 3.Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  • STEP 9.Bake the bagels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and have a slightly crisp crust.
  • STEP 10.Allow the bagels to cool on a wire rack before serving.
  • STEP 11.Store the bagels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.

Cooking Tips

  • To achieve a chewier texture, you can boil the bagels for a longer time, up to 2 minutes on each side.
  • To freeze the bagels, let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Storage and Serving

  • Pumpernickel bagels are best served fresh, either toasted or untoasted.
  • They are delicious with cream cheese, smoked salmon, or your favorite sandwich fillings.
  • To reheat frozen bagels, simply toast them in a toaster or warm them in the oven.
