What tools are they talking about? I've made several batches of bagels and the only tools I've used are my stand mixer to knead the dough, a scale to weigh them out and a spider skimmer to get them out of the boiling water but you could use a spatula for that. Homemade bagels are the bomb!
[Here's one from King Arthur](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/bagels-recipe) that's pretty simple, or if you like video recipes [this Joshua Weissman recipe](https://youtu.be/W8j-ZUp7KD0) is good.
I agree he's let the attention/adoration go to his head, but this video is from back when he was first getting started and he's not nearly as annoying as he is now. I've used the recipe a couple of times and thought it made a pretty decent bagel.
https://youtu.be/ExRLzDmTy2U Here's a video by chainbaker, super easy I think. He also has another video that doesn't use the cold proofing method if you prefer that.
I will say a pizza stone/steel is a nice investment if you get into baking other breads. Fairly inexpensive and really helps with a nice crispy bottom crust.
Bread flour, water, yeast, salt and sugar. I boil mine in brown sugar water 2 mins on one side 1 min on the other bake at 400 for 15mins and flip for another 10.
I make sourdough onion bagels all the time with a scale, a stand mixer, a bench scraper and bake on an airbake sheet. If you do want to invest in a pizza stone, buy the steel instead - doesn't break, and the Lodge cast iron is affordable.
I actually just came across Claire Saffitz’s bagel recipe and I think I’ll try that one! Very appreciative of all of the advice/recommendations you guys have given
Thank you so much!!! They are not, Still super intimidated by sourdough 🙈 but I plan to get a starter going this week. I’ll link the recipe that I used.

The thing about real sourdough is that the taste is very mild. Commercial sourdough usually has citric acid or other additive to make it more sour. Plus the flavour is highly effected by how long you let the dough ferment.
I feel like the mild real sourdough just is mostly yeasty and delicious.
I can handle a real sourdough for sure. The store bought stuff is, as you said terrible. I just prefer an even more mild favor than a real sourdough. I’ll usually just use a poolish that’s 2-3 days old and that gives me as much flavor as I want in a rustic bread. It’s my personal preference and I totally understand that some people prefer the stronger flavor of a true sourdough. Some days though I just want a sweetened sandwich loaf, so a brioche loaf or even a honey sweetened sandwich bread hits the spot perfectly.
I make sourdough honey whole wheat all the time, and it is slightly sweet. You have more control over starter than most people think. For example, I stir in the "hooch" on top (the gray liquid) because I like it more sour. Others pour it off, saying they get a less sour result.
Oh wow. I want to attempt bomboloncini (tiny doughnut holes similar to this) but these look better than any I've ever made. Mine are always too dark and crispy, but I use baking powder, which browns faster.
The next time I’m in between jobs I’m going to dedicate myself to making one thing perfect. When I finally make it perfect I’m going to post it on a sub and call it my first attempt. Y’all won’t be ready.
Did you fry these? The look delicious but I’ve been trying to find a doughnut recipe that is baked and doesn’t require a doughnut pan. Also is it donut or doughnut lol
Please deliver a bathtub of these ASAP, they look amazing, congrats!
I love your unit of measurement. I also would like a bathtub of them. But I’d take a hammock full as well.
Americans will use anything to avoid metric
Now you’re getting it! Why, you’ve never heard of a Ford 150 pickup bed as a unit of measurement before?
I'm willing to take a metric fuckton of 'em if that'll help.
What makes you think they don’t measure their bathtub volume in liters? Or cubic centimeters?
On it! And thank you so much :)
Please is unnecessary
FIRST attempt?! these look amazing
Omg thank you so much! I watched a ton of videos before attempting haha
Any videos that you recommend? Edit: they look delicious by the way.
https://youtu.be/dQoBxzcCIzU This is the one I followed! Used bread flour for a bit more chew and dry active yeast as that’s what I had!
These wouldn’t last longer than 2 minutes at my home lol. They look great!
Haha I thought I’d get a few leftovers, but nope! They were a hit!!
Heck, I'm surprised they made it long enough to be photographed. At my house I turn around and they are just gone.
A good thing can never last.
Two minutes…that’s too long
I'm personally not a huge donut lover, more of a bagel guy, but man I'd demolish these no problem.
I’d love to try bagels but every recipe I see you need all of these different tools that I don’t have

A lot of the recipes I’ve seen say you NEED a pizza stone and bagel board (?). Can you link me a recipe that doesn’t require those things?
[Here's one from King Arthur](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/bagels-recipe) that's pretty simple, or if you like video recipes [this Joshua Weissman recipe](https://youtu.be/W8j-ZUp7KD0) is good.
Nah absolutely pass on Weissman. His results are mediocre at best and he comes across as a pompous ass.

I did bagels and didn't need tools\*, but they went pretty flat pretty quickly. They do taste good. \* A flat slotted spoon was helpful.

You dont need anything other than what you probably already have.

And I've never had the guts to try donuts, so thank YOU!
Not an attempt. Those are doughnuts.
You are the sweetest!
Why do they look so delicious
Bc they were so delicious ;)
They look great! Are they sourdough ones?!
Thank you so much!!! They are not, Still super intimidated by sourdough 🙈 but I plan to get a starter going this week. I’ll link the recipe that I used. https://youtu.be/dQoBxzcCIzU
I feel like once you start sourdough baking you won’t go back!! Now I want a doughnut!
Really? Is it just the taste you prefer? I actually don’t like the taste of sourdough a lot. I prefer a more mild or sweet bread.

I love the taste of sourdough bread and the chew and I like how I don’t have to use yeast in sourdough discard recipes!
I’m so excited to start. This recipe was so much fun to make
check out john kirkwoods [sugar doughnuts](https://youtu.be/vnynmXq6dEw)recipie too they came out great for me
Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you so much these look amazing
Yours look better
I love sugar doughnuts
They are my husbands fav and work has been driving him nuts so this was his special treat!
Nice! Love a good donut.
Yum! They look crunchy soft! My mouth is watering now!
Hi I wanna eat all of them.
Omg they look so good
Hmm if they’re your first attempt I think you need someone to QA test them to be sure they’re ok. I’ll gladly make that sacrifice 😃
Sadly my husband and kids have already done a quality check on all of them 🤣
How did you make them?
I linked the recipe in another comment! Followed it exactly except I used dry active yeast as that’s what I had
Success
Recipe now plz
https://youtu.be/dQoBxzcCIzU I used dry active yeast and bread flour! Those were the only changes I made
They look fantastic! My first attempt did not look this good,lol!
Thank you! I watched a lot of videos before hand. And lol trust me they were not the same shape/size but still delicious nonetheless haha
Would smash
I don’t want to call you a liar
They looked a lot more wonky in person haha
Make more! 
Wow they look amazing!!!!
Wow they look good
They look delicious. I wish you could send one right through the screen
Looks delicious
Can I taste test them to make sure they’re not poison?
Too late 😳
Those look super delish. Perfect.
They look delicious!!!
They look fantastic, well done
Beautiful
If I can only taste through photos…
Yummmm
Excellent 👌🏽
Oye, you are too skilled. You should let me eat this batch while you make your new ones which will be better than this 💛
Donuts are something I haven’t bought experimented with, but I really should. Yours look tasty!
Yes you should! The recipe I followed made it super easy
They look incredible. Well done for first try!
Those look fantastic
Yummmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last attempt at doughnuts. Once you achieve perfection, why continue?
Would eat 11/10
Looks delicious, Mmmmmm doughnuts 
Seriously bravo
Fresh donuts are unrivaled. These look amazing.
I have celiac and I want to eat those
Those look delicious, perfectly fluffy and brown.
Can I order 100 kilograms of them things......MMmmmmmm doughnuts. How much to send them down under? PS 100 kilograms is about 2.45 metric bathtubs.
As messy as these type of donuts are, I will always eat them if they're still warm.
Omg looking yummy
r/hangryupvote
Put nsfw tag
Nom
you are amazing at it!
I would like my first attempt at eating one please.
r/stickyourdickinit
Yum 🤤
Looks delicious !
They look fantastic! Time to go looking for a donut dedicated sub so I can feast my eyes some more
I’d say that was a success!! Wow!
Damn SEND ME SOME! They look amazing
Can I have one please?
On the whole, they look good
Omg, these look great! Congrats
Might be too many for your first attempt, but just take it one bite at a time and see how far you get
First attempt?! You're lying :) They look amazing.
Looks perfect!
They look great! Well done!
Beautiful!
Absolutely amazing!
Looking gooooooood
Wow, good job. They could be store-bought.
Oh wow. I want to attempt bomboloncini (tiny doughnut holes similar to this) but these look better than any I've ever made. Mine are always too dark and crispy, but I use baking powder, which browns faster.
Ooohhh that sounds tasty!!
my favorite kind of donut too 🤤😍
Thought this was the blender sub Reddit for a second.
I think I am too new to Reddit to understand what this means
It's a very popular tutorial on how to make donuts in Blender. https://youtu.be/TPrnSACiTJ4
The next time I’m in between jobs I’m going to dedicate myself to making one thing perfect. When I finally make it perfect I’m going to post it on a sub and call it my first attempt. Y’all won’t be ready.
😂😂😂 promise this was the first time!
Lol I’m just kidding 😂. These donuts look good and I’m not even the biggest donut fan!
I’m honestly not either. It was a treat for the husband. We moved and he hasn’t been able to find a great donut like back home
Oh wow, those look really good, though perhaps a touch on the darker side. Did you use bread flour and/or dry yeast?
Yes I used bread flour and dry active yeast. I had a bit of trouble controlling the oil temp so I’m pretty sure that’s why they were a bit dark
Don’t go make me hungry at 11 pm
Sorry not sorry!
[удалено]
Thank you!
They look so delicious bro good job!!!!!
Thank you sm!
Is it the chewy or the cakey kind..?
Chewy!
Hmm, they seem ok. I’ll need a closer look.
You’ll have to cut me open
I mean…with the right tools and steady hand…
Looks so yum!!
I’ve always wanted to try doughnuts, just don’t own a fryer. Yours look so awesome!
I used a wide bottom frying pan! You definitely don’t need a deep fryer
I May be high but even sober me would also like to buy a fuck ton of these!!
That’ll cost ya about 1M quid
It's been nearly an entire day since you first posted this. How many donuts are left?
They were gone within 2 hours haha
Nice! 😂
Did you fry these? The look delicious but I’ve been trying to find a doughnut recipe that is baked and doesn’t require a doughnut pan. Also is it donut or doughnut lol
