This was surprisingly easy to make. I did it by hand (well, with the help of my kitchenaid bread hook) and they turned out great! I followed the TOH Nov. 2010 directions for doing it by hand mostly and actually just used regular flour! They smelled delicious in the oven and tasted super yummy!

Best bagels ever! Bread machine makees it so much easier. My only tip is when making them, make the whole bigger than you think it should be. My bagels did not have a whole the first time I made them after they baked! Dough rises a lot in the oven, so don't be afraid to make them wide.

This was my first time making bagels and after this experience, I can honestly say that I will never buy them in the store again !! Great directions -- even when things don't "look right" ~ trust it !!! Turns out fantastic !! Still amazed how they plumped right up as they were boiling :D Thanks for a great recipe that has turned me in to a bagel maker !!

We use whole grain spelt flour when making these and they turn out fantastic. Its a good grain for those wheat sensitive.

Good! Very dense, I tried them with a bit of whipped cream and they were absolutely delicious! It tasted just like pumpkin pie!

These are really delicious and so easy to make! People are intimidated when it comes to making bagels. I used this recipe to do a bagel tutorial on my website:

Tripled this recipe, first time trying bagels, (no bread michine either) and used home made pumpkin pie spice and added 10 ounces of dried cranberries. Loads of fun to make and the taste is wonderful. A bit heavier than store bagels, but the taste is 1000 x better! Will make again and can hardly wait till these are eaten to try the orange cranberry bagels recipe out!

These bagels are fabulous. The spice blend really makes them tasty. Thank goodness Taste of Home got this recipe before Panera.

I made two batches this weekend. Instead of the spices they suggested I had Pumpkin Pie Spice on hand and tossed a couple of shakes of it. Perfect!

I noticed a couple of people asking about not having a bread machine. the November issue of TOH Healthy Cooking also included the 'hand made' recipe. :-)

I took one batch to church yesterday. We were a little late so coffe time had already ended but I left them on the table anyway. By the time church was over the plate was empty along w/ the maple cream cheese spread!

this recipe is definitely a keeper. going to try the cranberry orange today :-)

Soooo delish! The perfect breakfast for a dreary fall morning! I didn't use a bread machine and the only difference I did is while kneading the dough added a bit more pumpking to each ball at the end so they weren't too dry. This recipe is a must taste!

This is the bread machine version so don't try to follow it exactly if you don't have a bread machine.

These bagels are wonderful! My husband thinks there is too much spice in them, even though I think they are delicious I may have to cut down on the spices next time.

I don't like pumpkin and I loved these bagels. I had enough pumpkin to make 4 batches and I froze 2 and they were wonderful later when company came. I took them to a pot luck with the Maple Nut Cream Cheese and everyone raved about them.

Made these today and they are delicious!! The bagels themselves are great and the maple cream cheese puts them over the top!! A keeper for sure!

My family loved the bagels and have decided that it should be a fall favorite in our house! I can't wait to try them again!

Not much pumpkin flavor, too much nutmeg. Though most of the bagels were done, I had spots that were completely doughy. I think because I live at high altitude I should have boiled them longer than the directions say. They were much better the first day when still a little warm from the oven. The maple nut spread recipe that accompanied this one in the magazine was quite tasty, though I used pecans instead of walnuts.

Good. I didn't taste much pumpkin flavor though. I made them with the maple cream cheese. It was a good addition to them.

Left out the salt and reduced the sodium a lot and still delicious! What an aroma in the kitchen!

How did you make the bagels without the bread machine?  Did you use the identical ingredients?  Did you let the dough rise 'til doubled?

 Thanks for your help.

Everyone in my family LOVED these! I had to make a second batch the very next day! So easy, too - thank you so much for sharing such an amazing recipe!

Very good. I used whole wheat pastry flour and omited the allspice. Cloves are a little strong so will be cutting that down next time. Easy to make and I don't have a bread machine.

I love pumpkin flavor and bagels, so to combine them was divine! Very easy to make in my bread machine, the spices were just right for my taste. Very healthy as well, no fat. I added 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour in place of the bread flour for some added fiber. Great for fall breakfast or brunch, but I will be making these all year long.
