inside: homemade bagels are the best!! This bagel recipe is a healthy take on a family favorite.

I love bread! If it didn’t go to the hips, I’d love to live on it {ha!} But, because I believe in moderation, we only eat bread occasionally.  We eat bread from the store, but I also love to bake homemade bread too.  This homemade bagel recipe is  perfect for our quick breakfasts on school mornings and also makes great sandwiches for lunch.

Homemade Bagel Recipe

This homemade bagel recipe is made with half whole wheat flour too, so it’s a great way to get your whole grains. I am not so talented making the bagels into a perfect shape, but the taste was amazing, so I wasn’t picky about the look. {honestly.. these were the best of the bunch, the others were even more lumpy, ha!}
