Blame the Bagels

for the delay in getting this post up.
I love to bake. So instead of blogging, I made bagels. I’m not sorry. They’re too amazing to be sorry for. I can’t get store bought bagels after trying these. Seriously easy to make – took me three hours start to finish, half of it inactive. I followed the recipe here with some changes. I didn’t refrigerate; I used active dry yeast instead of instant (mixed in with the flour, didn’t even proof it); and instead of syrup I just added sugar to the dry ingredients. Also, I do my rises in the oven with it set to warm, even though I have a very warm apartment. Faster that way.
So. Bagels.
Dough, after first rise and cut into eighths
Shaped, boiled, and ready to bake.
Ta da!
Perfection.
They look lovely and delicious. I am going to be trying this during the weekend.
Reblogged this on Nikki's Nibbles and commented:
I thought I’d share a post that my new writer acquaintance Jessica posted today about making bagels. I’m going to have to check this out because I haven’t had a decent rye bagel since I visited my aunt in NJ years ago and I’m hoping to modify it for just that purpose. Let me know what you think!
Look good to me too. In fact, I reblogged it over on my foodie blog, “Nikki’s Nibbles.” Some day I’m going to see if I can update the recipe to make rye bagels…
