After seeing Garner attempt to make the bagel bread, others became curious about the recipe and wanted to try it out too. According to The Kitchn, you mix the ingredients together and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Then you divide the dough in half and let it rise for an hour. Here’s the interesting part, while you preheat your oven, this is where the boiling water comes in. You drop the whole loaf into a pot of boiling water before putting it in the oven because this helps to give it a “thick, chewy crust with a subtle, bagel-like flavor.”
Mel’s Kitchen Cafe is also a huge fan of this type of bread and said her family devours it anytime she makes it. She explained that her favorite is a cheesy version that features Parmesan or Asiago sprinkled in. So, how did Garner’s attempt at making the scary bagel bread go? The down-to-earth star said at the end of the video, while taking a bite of the bread that she’s “not a pretty baker, but it’s good!”
