Attempt at gingerbread bagels

So this was my first attempt at reproducing the glorious Panera Gingerbread bagel... It went decently enough... but I still don't have it down exactly...

I added crystallized ginger when I balled them up... they smelled wonderfully like gingerbread at this point!

10 more minutes to rise after shaping with a hole... why must this take so long!


Hot out of the oven


crusty on the outside, chewy in the middle...

but the gingerbread kick... not totally there :( That's ok, another reason to try again! Once I have it right I'll let you guys know how I did it! Wish me luck :D

  2. ...and after you perfect gingerbread (which I am totally excited for) you need to come up with a pumpkin bagel recipe!!! ;)

  9. I still haven't figured it out... AND the worst part is I just found out Panera isn't having them this year!!! I'm boycotting them until they bring them back... so sad :(
