Comments on: Nigella Lawson - Bagels from How to be a Domestic Goddess http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/02/25/nigella-lawson-bagels-from-how-to-be-a-domestic-goddess/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

That's why I love the Domestic Goddess book so much :) Hi Trisha-That’s great, it’s so reliably good. That’s why I love the Domestic Goddess book so much :)

Just to let you know I'm a huge (silent) fan, and I actually used this bagel recipe over the weekend and it totally rocked! I'll be posting it on my new-ish website and crediting notquitenigella.com, of course. :) Thanks! Hi!

The bagels came out beautifully! I made cheese, cinnamon and raisin and sesame seed ones. My family consumed them all within a 12 hour period:-). Today I'm going to experiment with olive ones...

I have been making bagels for the last few months and have a bit of tip for forming the rings... I roll the dough into a little ball, stick my thumb in the middle and then swing the dough around my index finger until the hole is big enough. I find that this creates quite a nice shape. I'm excited to try your recipe! Hi!

This recipe is pretty authentically chewy-much like the bagels I had in NY. Hmmm I usually find Superior Gold smoked salmon fairly reliable. There have been others that I've tried and really liked but I can't recall the names off the top of my head. And there's nothing worse than bad Smoked Salmon with the horrible gristly bits. You're more than welcome! :D Do let me know if you make them and what you thought of them. Hi Maria-Yes the ones at the supermarket are really just like bread rolls.

Not chewy enough. I struggle to find good smoked salmon at the supermarket too. Some I find too salty.. too oily.. too tough. Can you recommend a brand? Your bagels look absolutely delicious, thank you for sharing the recipe and these lovely photographs! :-) I love a proper bagel and just don’t like the one’s you buy in bags at the supermarket.. too stodgy and starchy.
