I’ve done a bit of baking this week. And a bit of crafting…pretty much any free time I’ve had has gone towards using my hands to create. So tonight I coin the term Craftmageddon! It’s a way of life. You wouldn’t understand, lol OK it’s not a hipster’s way of life. But it is a homemade way of life.

Tonight I made bagels. For the very first time. It was actually pretty super easy. There’s been a pin floating around pinterest with a bagel recipe from MelsKitchenCafe You’ve probably seen it. Step by step instructions on how to make bagels. Super easy to follow.

I made a couple plain and a couple everything bagels. And all my husband and I can say is NOM! The only thing I would change is not using wax paper again. Even with it being greased it wouldn’t come off the bottoms. And I had actually unknowing cooked them at at about 400 instead of 425 (my oven is wonkie)
My First Homemade Bagels
But I seriously can not stress enough how wonderful fresh baked chewy on the inside crunchy on the outside bagels are. {yum} It’s always great when you follow through on a pinterest pin too. Feels like such an accomplishment.

Bake it so!
Your bagels look gorgeous! I might have to gather the courage to try to make them. Thank you so much for sharing!
Really no courage is necessary, just a love of yum! They really are as easy as they look.
I love it! Craftmageddon! I’m knee deep in it too – the sewing machine is out, the knitting needles won’t stop clacking and I have about a million dozen cookies to bake. Seriously, craziness. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
OH my gosh NO, Totally not alone!
The next thing on my baking list is pretzels. There are two painting I’ve been wanting to do. A little crafting for the holiday decorations since I don’t think the tree is getting put up. Plus a new type of scarf I want to work on…craziness is correct.
