Recipe Review
waxhead49 from Lynn, MA
I've used this recipe to make bagels 5 times now. It was really easy and so rewarding when finished. The flavor is wonderful and the texture is soft & chewy.
Before I made my first batch, I had done a lot of reading about bagels and learned the flour, barley malt & overnight fermentation were all keys to success.
I found high gluten flour on-line at King Arthur's Flour (Sir Lancelot). Knowing I'd be making them a lot, I decided to drive to KA & purchase a 50 lb. bag.
I scaled the dough, rolled them into balls and punched my thumb through the center. Storing them in the refrigerator overnight to develop their flavor; after they are boiled and baked the next day, they make a wonderful breakfast item. I made plain - sesame seed & onion.
