Soo, I have made some regular bagels. I think the bagel taste comes from boiling the bagels in water and baking soda before baking. Without it, even a real bagel wouldn’t taste like a “bagel”. Love your channel, you two make keto fun!
OK... Decades long experienced (non-keto) baker here... The honey is NOT needed to activate the yeast. Yeast will do it's own thing so skip the honey (it may take a few more minutes). Just use yeast with warm water and it will begin to activate. I promise! Also, to make the holes, press a dough ball into a patty and push your thumbs into the center stretching outward gently and rotating while you stretch. Personally, I would then blanch the raw bagels for a minute or two in a boiling water bath (or malt water bath) flipping once before placing on the baking sheet. This will give them the chewy texture you get from "real bagels" and give them a chance to rise slightly before baking. Then brush with an egg wash and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning before the final bake. You guys are the best!!! Keep doing what you do!
Ladies! I tried Lulu pasta for the 1st time this week. It’s the real deal. 4 net carbs per serving which is 2.5 ounces cooked. Texture, mouth feel, all just like real pasta. I grilled a piece of salmon & put Rao’s Alfredo sauce on it. To. Die. For.🤤
Hi girls ! I tried these and put in the flax seed and I was surprised that they tasted just like real bagels. I said to my self I’m not making these again before I tasted them because they took so long to make. I have made the fat head dough ones before and thought they just were too cheesy. This was great. Keep up the good work girls. ❤
I love Sola Bagels. I order them at least twice a year and keep them in the freezer. I just pull one out when I’m craving one. Which is usually once a week. 😉
A friend of mine is a keto baker and she makes the most amazing creme brulee. I would love to learn how to make it instead of buying it from her. I've not looked up the recipe yet because I'm a visual learner and do so much better watching someone. FYI. I REALLY enjoy watching the two of you and your interactions. You are a blast to watch. Thanks for all the recipes, etc.
I really like the Sola bagels (as well as their Sweet & Buttery bread). It’s worth the price, IMO, to save myself some kitchen work and get a very tasty, very filling bagel. There are so many ways to enjoy them and such a wide variety of spreadable yummies (think ChocZero), sweet and savory. Now I want a bagel. Emily, your hair looks adorable like that.
So true~ loved it! Stole the show 👧 My daughter calls it "the fountain 'do", since she was little....now I have to go try it on myself, see if I can pull it off~I kind of doubt it =) But it looks great on you Emily! *We found the SOLA bread/bagels & buns at our local discount store a couple months ago ~ they were in the freezer section, so I wasn't real hopeful. It was a happy surprise when they thawed & toasted up perfect~ so we keep them there, & take out one at a time. Awesome for garlic bread w/a steak too!
I haven’t found a keto + gluten-free bagel yet so I decided to try turning your chaffle recipe into something bagel-like. And it worked! I replaced the almond flour in your chaffle recipe with protein powder and this gives it a bread-like texture. I added a sprinkle of salt and Lakanto sweetener though because the protein powder lacks flavor. After Dashing them, I spread with cream cheese and jam. So good! And a pretty good bagel substitute.
Thank you Sarah and Emily for the new series *"Buy it or Make it"*, it's fun to watch - keep them coming 😁😇☺️!! But for me personally I would prefer to *"make it"* by myself just because I've all the ingredients at home and I love to make things on my own and taste it 👍👍👍!!! Btw. I made already several recipes from *"@gnom gnom"* and they are all delicious and no failure!! 👍👍👍 🌞🌞🌞 greetings from Germany, Ela 🤗
I LOVE bagels and have considered the Sola brand, but I know myself well, and just as with the low carb tortillas, I will eat them all within three days....or even in ONE day! I have such an issue with binge eating that it is safer for me to buy these types of things very rarely....but I might consider getting some. Thanks for testing this out (I'm too lazy to spend that much time baking so it would definitely be a purchase for me)
Love, love, love this new series gals! I've been on recipe channels and blogs for years and see comments such as "This looks great" and "Want to make it!" But there is zero followup if they actually did make it! You are truly putting your money (and time) where your keto mouth is! Keep going and Keto On!
Such a good and helpful concept, Make It or Buy It! I have to do clean diet because I’m in rough shape LOL, so I’d totally make rather than buy. I would order those bagels for my keto brother, though. Also, both of you have such gorgeous hairdos in this video!
This was a very interesting video. You two are fun to watch and very informative as well. For me the preserves in store bought breads is a factor and our family avoids as much as possible. Making the bagels at home is definitely what I will do as I love new recipes, and I also enjoy experimenting with different ingredients. Also thank you for a new source for KETO recipes. We went Keto for my hubby. In just 7 weeks it has been terrific for his medical issues & weight issues. Keto has been something he can & will stick with. Your channel & humor keeps me coming back for more! Keep up the good work. Blessings from East TN!
"Its alive~ yeah, so we dont have to start over." you two are so cute. I love your 'show' for a good laugh. And YES I am gonna try this. thanks ladies. God bless your channel, Luv from Mpls. ~Gg Ask: would you try making chia- raspberry jelly? If Im-a-gonna have bagles I do mine with PB&J.
I'd buy the Soma bagels but they raise my blood sugar significantly as does the aldi bread and buns.. For people just trying to loose the Keto way they are probably fine. thanks for trying these things out and sharing the results.
@@marinaridley4186 Unless you're in VA, PA, and parts of New York state, you're probably out of luck. I looked on their website, and that seems to be where the store locator says their retailers are located.
I buy Unbun Everything bagels at my local Whole Foods or grocery store. They're $9.99 for approx 4 bagels but that is how many I eat in a year. Also half is plenty because they are bog and full of fiber, I think your "taster" bagel is a good size especially if people will be adding meats or cheese or avocado.
I have missed breads so much! I will have to try this recipe! I'm on an anti inflammatory diet which has ketogenic properties but also means not having some additional foods. These will be a good fit!
Carbquik works well for a mix and have most of ingredients already in it with exception of the yeast egg etc. .. I used to make my own and preheating oven to 100 for 15 min then shutting off and putting your bagels inside to rise from residual heat helps them a lot... Pull them out and uncover.. prepare a a salt water bath (hot not boiling..5 cups water to 1/2 teaspoon salt) while you Preheat your oven to temp required to bake but before baking Put them in a short salt water bath for about 15-20 seconds then back on your baking sheet helps them expand and get a crunchy crust outside and that chewy light texture you want inside. Brush with toppings and bake. I start with a hot 425 first 5 min then reduce to 375 or 350 depending on your oven to finish.. Love watching you guys you crack me up and give good tips and info.
I have been away from the internet and it was so nice to see you two when I signed back on! I enjoyed this and hope to see more of these make or buy comparisons. I missed you ladies! Thanks so much for another great video.
Love your make it or buy it videos! I would buy also as it seems like a lot of work to make. I like easy recipes that are not a lot of fuss.Thank you again for all your hard work on this video series! I look forward to each of your videos.
Years ago I was making some kind of bread using a spoon my grandmother had used for years. I kept using it in honor of her because she's now long gone. All of a sudden CRACK!!! My heart sank and I started to cry thinking of how many Christmas cakes (her favorite thing to bake) had been stirred with that spoon over the decades. Still makes me sad thinking about it.
Hi ladies, good video. I use Sola bread (2 net carbs per slice) to make bread crumbs. I use them in my meatloaf, fried cheese sticks, fried shrimp, etc... I also found a 0-carb street taco tortilla and a 0-carb bagel. Thinslimfood bagels have 0 carbs but don't toast them, they get hard as rocks. La Banderita Carb Counter tortillas found them at Walmart.
Yes! I wonder this about all sorts of things. One of them is hot cereal. (And yes, I feel like something of a freak that one of the things I miss the absolute most is **oatmeal**! WTH?!) Anyway, premade keto hot cereals are stupid expensive. I made my own, and it's... ~okay. I'll mess with it. Anyway, I don't expect you two to do a MIOBI with hot cereal because, seriously, I'm probably a one-off, but the series sounds great!
It's not just you. I crave oatmeal ALL the time and the funny thing is that pre-Keto, I probably only ate once a month. I have had fake oatmeal (hemp, ground flaxseed and chia) and it doesn't work. Oatmeal is one thing that I can't find a suitable replacement :(
@@WendyKCraftSite Hurray, kindred spirit! It's a density issue, yeah? My current mix has almond flour, lupin flour, flax meal, chia seeds and hemp hearts. Today I added some roasted, chopped almonds that gave it a bit of "tooth". I think I'm going to swap ground lupini beans for the lupin flour in the mix I'm working on. Let me know if you have ideas/suggestions. 🙂
Thanks for showing both - being wheat and gluten sensitve and allergic to soy, the Sola are out of the question for me, but I can see trying the other recipe. Your videos are so fun!
Just ordered some of the bagels from Sola. I didn't know you could do that. I get the hamburger buns and bread at the grocery store. Excited to try something new from them! Thanks!!!
So glad I ran into this video today while surfing RUclips. I've tried a couple different brand of store bought bagels, and have settled on buying Sola the last couple of times. If you have a Safeway store near you, then check them out. That's where I've found them regularly (along with hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and loaf bread). I'm generally happy with them. But, they don't toast perfectly so was interested in looking for a recipe to try. But, after watching this I'll probably stick with Sola for now. These days I factor in the "is it time worth spent" rule, and based on what I saw in this video, the answer is no. Thanks again ladies!
Hey ladies! 👋🏾 This one is kinda hard for me 🤔 I absolutely loved bagels in my pre keto days especially an Asiago cheese bagel🤤... I think I would go for the make it just because I like the size. The Solar bagels would probably be a trigger for me and I may eat too many or too much which would injure my keto to the fullest 😄 not that I would eat a lot of the Nom Nom version its probably just mental🤷🏾♀️. And the fact that I could add ingredients, keto of course, like Asiago cheese😄 like I added to my chaffles (your recipe) can I say they're delicious! 😋. But yeah I'd probably make it. 🤷🏾♀️ thanks for sharing 👍🏽
I made low carb bagels last year from a recipe by I Don't Sugar-coat (who also has a yt channel) she had the Instruction of boiling them before you baked them and they were SOOOOO good!!!
I love her bagels! I make her cinnamon ones all the time. I also make her bread and add 2 TB of the Everything seasoning and have a bagel loaf. These are the real thing. Bagels are supposed to be chewy.
Have I told you lately that I love you? Just want to let you know, I enjoy watching your videos. I find them to be a death of Lego information from two funny, real ladies! Thanks for sharing.💖😻🇺🇸
Love the idea of this series! You used nuti lite to make the brownies in a recent video, but there are a lot of homemade keto Nutella recipes out there. Maybe you could try to make one of those for this series.
Awesome 👌 👏 I love bagels 🥯 ❤️ Thanks! My husband and I tried Sola bread 🍞 bought it at Aldis ... but we threw it away because we were so unimpressed!! 🤪 Will have to give this recipe a try.
Hi Ladies, I just saw this video and I love you two! I also live in the Chicago area and Meijers grocery have had the Sola products for a while now- just fyi. They also run them on sale at buy 1 and get 50% off second 1. Again, I really do enjoy your channel☺️
I used to live at sea level in the Pacific NW and loved to bake bread so would have made these but now I live at a much higher altitude in the Intermountain West and can't get any baked goods to come out right to save my life...so, I am buying these! Great idea for a series!
Hello ladies! I just found your channel and love it! I’ve made bread before and have struggled with getting it to double in size during the first rise. I read that if you put a pan of boiled water in the bottom rack of an unheated oven and the dough on the top rack, it will rise much better. I tried it and it works great! Try that once and hopefully you’ll end up with bigger bagels! Take care!!
I believe that bagels are traditionally boiled in water before they are baked. That may be part of the difference. Also, the bagels might not have risen enough, though the crumb looks fine. My own pre-keto pizza dough recipe techniques: 1. feed the yeast with half water and half either tomato juice, or V8 and 2. let that sit for a very generous hour before adding the dry ingredients. It used to make an incredibly delicious crust. I'm suggesting this to Gnom Gnom, but feel free to experiment. BTW, I have both twin brothers and nephews from an un-twin sister, so they don't always skip generations, though Grandma's twin died at birth, and G had no twins. (Sounds like good data for a math story-problem.)
Ladies, I buy Sola hamburger buns which are very good. I like there bread for a sandwich. Serious Keto, Steve bought from trader joes, a new wrap, which was good. I'm hooked on mission carb count wraps too. Like you doing Dirty!!keto. Love the new approach. Do you really like the green pans you bought I'm thinking of getting the green color. Didn't you have a rack to store them too? Patti:)
Great video. I'm just starting to incorporate more keto foods and noticed the premade keto snacks from keto krate are super high in sodium. Maybe a make it vs buy it keto snack.
I watch you two all the time and have enjoyed and shared your videos. I must say I absolutely loved ❤ ♥ 💕 this video content. Without even tasting i was voting which one you should buy or make
I really enjoyed this video. By you doing this comparison it was extremely helpful to me so that I do not feel bad if I were to order them. Sometimes you really have to think about your time and the mess that you would make involved in making a recipe. I look forward to seeing more of this type video.❤️❤️
Enjoyed this video and look forward to more “Make It or Buy It” episodes.
Thanks Linda!!
I second the emotion, thanks ladies ❣️
Walmart sells Sola bread but I returned it due to its long list of scary ingredients

I started my KETO bagel journey with Unbun a few months ago. Absolutely terrible!! The Sola are light years ahead of them in consistency and flavor.

OOOOH thank you for doing this! This will be SUPER HELPFUL for me!
I love this idea for a video series.
I love all of the input so I can make an informed decision!
Just ordered some of the bagels from Sola. I didn't know you could do that. I get the hamburger buns and bread at the grocery store. Excited to try something new from them! Thanks!!!
Love this format - Make it or Buy it. Great job ladies!
I always wonder if these homemade products are toaster oven or toaster friendly. To have a crispy toasted bagel with butter would rock my world.
So glad I ran into this video today while surfing RUclips. I've tried a couple different brand of store bought bagels, and have settled on buying Sola the last couple of times. If you have a Safeway store near you, then check them out. That's where I've found them regularly (along with hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and loaf bread).

I really like this series 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Have I told you lately that I love you? Just want to let you know, I enjoy watching your videos. I find them to be a death of Lego information from two funny, real ladies! Thanks for sharing.💖😻🇺🇸
❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
I love this new segment! Good job girls!
Love this “Make It or Buy It” series! Keep ‘em coming!
Thank you Sandy!!
Excellent , as always!!!
Thanks ladies. I will make them since I have all the ingredients. Barb from Buffalo
Love to watch you both! So enjoyable!
🤗🤗❤️
Love the idea of this series! You used nuti lite to make the brownies in a recent video, but there are a lot of homemade keto Nutella recipes out there. Maybe you could try to make one of those for this series.
Loving the make it or buy it series!!!
Please do a tortilla version!
You both make me smile. 😀 Excellent video as always. ❤
Aww thank you! That makes us so happy!
I gotta try this , thank you I've missed bagels 🥯!! Yummy 😋
Awesome 👌 👏 I love bagels 🥯 ❤️
Thanks! My husband and I tried Sola bread 🍞 bought it at Aldis ... but we threw it away because we were so unimpressed!! 🤪 Will have to give this recipe a try.
Hi Ladies, I just saw this video and I love you two! I also live in the Chicago area and Meijers grocery have had the Sola products for a while now- just fyi. They also run them on sale at buy 1 and get 50% off second 1. Again, I really do enjoy your channel☺️
Yes! We just saw them! Yay!
I love this content format
♡ What a great series idea!!! Fun.
I used to live at sea level in the Pacific NW and loved to bake bread so would have made these but now I live at a much higher altitude in the Intermountain West and can't get any baked goods to come out right to save my life...so, I am buying these! Great idea for a series!
Good jobs, twins!! What a fun video!!
I absolutely love you guys. My new favorite channel and you have the best background music. So cute 💛
❤️❤️❤️ you are too kind Loretta, thank you!! -Em
Hello ladies! I just found your channel and love it! I’ve made bread before and have struggled with getting it to double in size during the first rise. I read that if you put a pan of boiled water in the bottom rack of an unheated oven and the dough on the top rack, it will rise much better. I tried it and it works great! Try that once and hopefully you’ll end up with bigger bagels! Take care!!
I believe that bagels are traditionally boiled in water before they are baked. That may be part of the difference. Also, the bagels might not have risen enough, though the crumb looks fine.
My own pre-keto pizza dough recipe techniques:
1. feed the yeast with half water and half either tomato juice, or V8 and
2. let that sit for a very generous hour before adding the dry ingredients.
It used to make an incredibly delicious crust. I'm suggesting this to Gnom Gnom, but feel free to experiment. BTW, I have both twin brothers and nephews from an un-twin sister, so they don't always skip generations, though Grandma's twin died at birth, and G had no twins. (Sounds like good data for a math story-problem.)
Ladies, I buy Sola hamburger buns which are very good. I like there bread for a sandwich. Serious Keto, Steve bought from trader joes, a new wrap, which was good. I'm hooked on mission carb count wraps too. Like you doing Dirty!!keto. Love the new approach.
Do you really like the green pans you bought I'm thinking of getting the green color. Didn't you have a rack to store them too?
Patti:)
The pans are beautiful! We love them so far. If you buy the set it comes with the storage system. Sarah has the gray and i have the green ❤️❤️-Em
I love the green color. Thank you
Thanks for this type of video. Very interesting
Thanks, ladies! I’ve found, with bread products, buying is more satisfying.
I love your videos and you two do an amazing job!!!! Thank you!!!
Aww thanks so much Jody!!
Great idea for a series - definitely looking forward to more 😋
Thanks so much Penny!! -Em
I'd love to see more make it or buy it videos. I love the convenience items especially when I go on vacation, I just eat them sparingly.
That is pretty cool. I would go with yum yum as I do total carbs and portions control would be easier
Loved this video. Would encourage you to make more videos like this. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to helping others. 💕
Thanks so much Bev!! -Em
Great video. I'm just starting to incorporate more keto foods and noticed the premade keto snacks from keto krate are super high in sodium. Maybe a make it vs buy it keto snack.
I watch you two all the time and have enjoyed and shared your videos. I must say I absolutely loved ❤ ♥ 💕 this video content. Without even tasting i was voting which one you should buy or make
I love the new video ideas!! Fantastic!! Love u guys! I wish u had a video every day!! Keep up the awesome work!
Aww thanks Lisa 🤗🤗
I really enjoyed this video. By you doing this comparison it was extremely helpful to me so that I do not feel bad if I were to order them. Sometimes you really have to think about your time and the mess that you would make involved in making a recipe. I look forward to seeing more of this type video.❤️❤️
🤗🤗🤗
Yup, this make it or buy it idea is good!
