to market to market ...whey bagels, and more...

I had enough orders this week so I have some crumb shots and some not as most was going toward orders. I made my usual 100 % sourdough bagels from Wild Yeast blog but I used whey from my kefir for all of the liquid including feeding the staters..I use 1/2 rye starter and 1/2 white staters for the formula. They were all spoken for but the fragrance and shape are lovely so I have high hopes for the reviews on texture and flavor . I also had more orders for the Oatmeal Bread. I made 2 5 oz rolls from the extra dough...Grand son and his Momma and Papa ate those with peach jam we made this afternoon !   Made 8 Challah seeded buns and 2 Challah braids, a huge batch of peanut butter granola and 3 semolina sourdough boules. I ran out of semolina so added a touch of spelt. They turned out beautifully...baked in my DO's. That's it...oh and I made a small pan of lasagna from the last of my husbands sourdough pasta. We have always made our own pasta dough but have just lately started using starter for the lasagna. It gives a wonderful texture and lightness to the whole dish.

are all just fantastic. Love the blisters on the bagels - sign of perfection.  SD pasta is a stroke of genius.  Bet you could sell it like hot cakes it you sold them :-)

Happy baking.

What a coincidence. I've been seriously thinking about baking and selling sourdough bagels for charity, using a recipe that was inspired by the Wild Yeast SD bagels. Problem is, I need a mixer, a bigger oven, a bigger fridge, and other pieces of equipment.

Nonetheless, your post has given me encouragement.

Best of luck on your baking endeavors!

Wow those all look so good Caroline!  Great job and thanks for sharing.  I shouldn't be reading this right before dinner time!  Love the idea of SD for pasta and I must try.  If you can post your formula that would be great along with your bagel recipe.

Regards,
Ian

grind: it is a balancing act for sure ! If I haven't been to the store then i am OK but we had just been to the produce market so it was a challenge :) Thank you for looking . 

 

db the bagels are wonderful...and the SD makes the best pasta ...very tender. Thank you !  

Zita I hope you will try Susan's formula. I have made them many many times and they are always perfect. thank you !

Thank you andy...I try to vary it week to week. I have 1000's of recipes so will never run out :)  Just need more room and more customers.

 

Hey Ian.thank you ! I use the formula for bagels that Susan has on Wild Yeast blog. It is the 100% SD. I sub 1/2 white and 1/2 rye starter for the all white starter. And this time for all of the water I used whey. They are wonderful. I managed to have a couple left and have really enjoyed the chewy yet tender full flavor. I follow the rest of her formula exactly and have made them a lot of times all with perfect success. I will make a post for  what my husband does for the pasta. It is the best !!  

Thank you varda !! You too !  c
