Bagels

[Mountain Cat]

I have never made bagels and have no desire to do so. I find them far too dense to be enjoyable - although half a bagel, especially a New York City deli one, slathered with cream cheese, lox, thin red onion slivers, and capers is indeed great.

Daughter buys them for mr7, he couldn't remember the name last time he had one, think from memory he called them bongols??
I have no desire for them.

You really must go on calling them that!

I don't know, probably both. Here, you can get onion bagels, pizza bagels, cinnamon-raisin bagels, etc. I don't like those.


Yeah, bacon works on everything!

I like onion bagels, but I don't like cinnamon raisin bagels. Pizza bagel sounds disgusting. I wouldn't eat it.

It's got bits of pepperoni, sun-dried tomato, and bell pepper worked into the dough, and a bit of cheese. I don't want that in my bagel. I want my bagel to taste like a bagel!

See, that would totally freak me out because I usually want salmon on my bagels (I know, I know, you don't like fish). But could you imagine a pizza bagel with salmon on it? The onion would be okay, but cinnamon raisin would be off-putting...even if I liked raisins, which I do NOT.

I agree - if I wanted pizza I'd eat pizza. The thing I like about bagels is the neutrality. Just like I expect a pizza crust to be neutral. Its the toppings that make it interesting.

Onion bagel toasted, with cream cheese, thin sliced onion, lox or gravlax and capers!

Onion bagel would be OK. I just wouldn't want a bagel with a mixture of different things in the dough.

I don't like things in the dough either.

The air fryer recipe I found makes a much lighter bagel dough, with no yeast and it takes very little time. The recipe calls for Greek yogurt to achieve the tang and baking powder for the rise. I do think they could be baked in the oven quite easily as well. I made a batch yesterday in less than an hour from the time I poured the flour and other ingredients into the bowl to the time the air fryer "ding" occurred.
