Bagels | Basics with Babish (feat. Dan Souza)
Check out What’s Eating Dan?, where Dan Souza tests the theory of New York vs. Boston water for bagel-making, and a whole lot more!
This week on Basics, we’re tackling one of the home-cook holy-grails: really chewy, really crisp, really good bagels, somehow existing outside NYC. Or Montreal.

Your Next Line is I came here looking for this, and you sir did not disappoint.
I can tell your happy by your profile pic
+Your Next Line is “What is going on?!? MICHAEL?!?” Lmao
I always forget that you’re in my time zone and not in LA so whenever you post I always think, “WHY ARE YOU POSTING SO EARLY”
I’m IN that time zone so I’m always like “Jeeze you’re always posting so late!”
Did someone say “All the lunches from The Breakfast Club?”
What a cool idea!
+Daniel Kemp she’s back. She was gone for like a minute.
+Stiff Donk uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That’s bound to make a ruckus
+Ray Martinez can you describe the ruckus?
Yes!
I thought I recognized Dan. America’s Test Kitchen and Cooks Illustrated, represent.
I like how you two have inverted hair.
+Tessa Sagner you beat me to it
I was thinking the same thing as soon as he came on lol
Thank you. You made my day!
Which mean they could make out and no hair would touch!
The man with hair but no beard and the man with beard but no hair.
You should make popplers from Futurama or Bender’s terrible food in the iron chef episode of futurama that would be fun you know the audience loves to see you suffer??
Where’s everybody’s favorite bagels from? I’m tired of making them and want to go out and buy one.
Binging with Babish Bodo’s Bagels in Charlottesville, Virginia!!!
There are few bagels sold in Singapore but, finding a good bakery that does ’em is truly satisfying. Cedele occasionally does bagels but when they do, man that’s good.
Bagel Oasis in Queens baby
Bruggers – as far as chain. Brooklyn Bagels as far as local,
#4 trending, awesome job Babish!
So are you going to make cream cheese and other classic bagel toppings next, maybe lox ?
Yeah Babs, you just gonna leave us with dry bagels?
I sure love me a dough donut.
+Filips Andrejevs I already did
A Jelly doughnut…
Leave kys

I just watched the Nexpo video explaining how you’re always everywhere. I’ve never noticed you ONCE before it.
Cook heroin from trainspotting
Or crack from Permanent Midnight.
Or weed from Uncle Snoop
Or meth from breaking bad.
+Dreadnought -.- He already did that one
Montreal Bagels are by far the best.
“This is pure gluten.”
“Yes, this could kill half the population of NYC.”
Comedic gold.
Does anyone remember that episode from South park where this guy’s dick explodes after eating pure gluten?
I remember Ryan Reynolds tweet where he said “the people of L.A. are deathly afraid of gluten. You could rob a liquor store with a bagel.”
+Hussain Attai “Awwww see, his dick’s flyin’ off!”
Gold?
Nicholas Galarnyk it would kill the entire population of California.
I think you are missing that je ne sais quoi of Montreal… Babish come North and work with us!
Just visited NYC for the first time this past fall and this is EXACTLY what I thought as well. There is just something slightly different about Montreal style that makes them so good.
I liked the bagels I had… but they were easily second place. The Bialy however were very very good.
+Adam Chafe The two things that make montreal bagels iconic is that they’re boiled in a mix of water and honey, and cooked in a wood fired oven
+Robert Follows Yeah, when I make them at home I boil in honey, even if it is a NYC style recipe. It adds such a nice flavor. One day when I have a wood fired oven I will bake them that way as well haha.
Luckily I do have a Montreal style bakery here in my town so I can buy good bagels from them if I am being lazy.
