Homemade Truffle Salt Bagels – Today we are baking bread with #BreadBakers. A group that gets together once a month to bake a themed bread. I don’t join in each month but I loved this theme. I don’t even actually bake the bread for this group. This is hubby’s category and something that he really enjoys making, so I happily leave this up to him.
Today’s event is hosted by the lovely Heather from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks. Thank you so much for all your hard work Heather to make this come together!
I asked him if he would make bagels for me for this month and he flat out said no! I think they initially scared him. I found a recipe at Epicurious for him to try. He had never made a bagel before. After he was finished making them he couldn’t believe how easy they were and said he would happily make them anytime for us. I am thrilled as he did any amazing job.
My only two cents on this one was to top them with truffle salt. Something that I have been craving and what a wonderful idea that was. He also added a little Kosher salt. Man, were these a good bagel. I really can’t wait until we have them again!!
I love bagels and these disappeared quickly ! They were dense and chewy with a crispy, salty exterior. Exactly how a bagel should be. I was highly impressed.
Because this was his first attempt at making bagels, and he followed their recipe to the letter, I am just going to direct you to Epicurious for the recipe. They turned out perfectly as you can see. He used the honey when it was given as an option and salted the tops before baking with truffle salt and Kosher salt to taste. So come over to
Look at all the other delicious bagels to choose from. The list is full of wonderful bagels to try. Enjoy them all!!

Well done, husband! And good call on the truffle salt–they sound wonderful!
Tara Noland says
Hubby is the bread guy here, can’t wait for another batch! Thanks Jenni!
Holly says
I don’t have truffle salt in my pantry, do you find you use it a lot? I am curious about the taste and will have to seek it out on my next shopping trip. So glad the truffle salt made your gorgeous bagels taste even better!
Tara Noland says
The truffle salt is unique and was very delicious on these bagels. I have also had it on fries, chips, popcorn (excellent with lobster, I know popcorn and lobster, but it works). I wouldn’t say I use it a lot but when I do I love it! Thanks Holly!
Janette@culinaryginger says
These sound like delicious bagels and what a fun group to be part of.
Tara Noland says
Thanks so much Janette!
Stacy says
Ha, you know, Tara, I was thinking as I finished updating the last couple of links that we should really write Ken’s name in for the Bread Bakers link list. His bagels turned out beautifully. I just happen to have some truffle salt!
Tara Noland says
Well, it is Noshing With The Nolands for a reason. He has his specialties that he loves to do and I let him at it!! You will see him making the bread for the most part. Thanks Stacy!
Adam says
Truffle salt, this is serious business! I too love the crisp and flavorful exterior the salt gives, thanks for sharing!
Tara Noland says
Thanks so much Adam!

Way to go, hubs! I’m highly impressed too! Tara, your husband has mad bread baking skills! Bagels have always intimidated me too but I’m glad he went outside his comfort zone and tried them. They look perfect!
