    Had no idea that you could do lox at home. Any substitute on the cream cheese for someone without a smoker or grill? Have learned so much watching your channel, appreciate you my man!

    Nice bagels, Sam!
    I decided I needed to learn bagels not long before the plague started. I used Joshua W’s video and now I keep all of my dry ingredients measured out in a screw top Ziploc container (with a very small one tucked inside for the yeast and sugar). Then I wrote out all of the steps on the outside along with the ingredients/weights. Whenever I go to make bagels, I’m ready. And while the dough rests, I weigh everything out for the next batch and reseal the container. Also, I put baking soda in my water bath, about a tablespoon.

    Now, about that lox. Yes, I’m drooling, but I’m the only one in the house that eats it. Could the curing mixture be kept in the freezer if I only cured small pieces at a time? Could I freeze the lox after it’s cured?

    Dude I love how transparent you are with your videos and how you show everybody how to do everything that most people who know this information would try to hide. 😎👍✌️ My wife just freaking loves this and will be making homemade bagels with locks and cream cheese. Her family is from Germany and they loved making these. Unfortunately the bagels were store-bought 🙁

    What temp and for how long on the bagels??? My wife is having surgery and will be out of commission for 6 to 8 weeks, and I am going to make these for her while she is recovering (among many other recipes of yours). Thank you Sam and crew!
