Bagelssssss...

Had the urge to make bagels yesterday.

So I came home and started the process.

Here's the recipe I used, it's simple, well, it's simple for me, and I'm a simple man (love Lynyrd Skynyrd.)


Didn't use KA flour, any APF will do.

Mixed all of the dry ingredients and wetstuff and let it do a first rise,

Then I realized I didn't want to mess with it anymore, so I covered it with plastic and threw it in the fridge.

We'll call that the ferment!

So today, I finished it off.
Threw the dough, rolled it, made little bagel balls, poked a hole, let 'em rise again, boil 'em and bake!

The better half rolled 'em in onion flakes, poppy seeds and garlic flakes.

Everything Bagels!

After the boil, before the bake!

The finished product.  Seriously, if I can do this so can you!

 I just slathered a little Land 'o Lakes butter on one-it's almost criminal!

  3. Hey Tup, if you want to get adventurous, give Peter Reinhart's bagels from his "Baker's Apprentice" book a try. They get an overnight cold ferment which really makes them flavorful. Gotta use some malted barley syrup for "authentic" bagel and a high protein flour gives them the necessary "chew". I haven't made them in a while, I'll have to do a batch soon.
