Here are the bagels we had this morning...great with some cream cheese and strawberry preserves. From Peter Reinhart's BBA. I just substituted 1 cup fine grind ww flour in the recipe.
Thanks again...I haven't tried the bagels in the whole grains book, but I am thinking about dusting that book off and trying some other recipes from it. I tried a few a while back and have had some success with them. I love sprouted wheat in bread, so I am thinking about trying that one.
Yes, the bagels from Reinhart's whole grain bread book came out great. My husband, who sometimes makes fun of my frequent effort to be somewhat "health foody," liked them a lot too. I had made the bagels from the BBA prior to making the whole grain ones, and I think we liked the whole grain ones even more. I made them a while ago, and when I get a chance, I will make them again. If you make them, please let me know what you think.
Has anyone tried the Sourdough Bagel recipe from Crust and Crumb? I made the poolish today and will make the bagels in a couple of days. I made the bagel recipe from BBA....suppose I'm the only one who was't thrilled with the result...thought they were just okay...it's hard to beat a New York bagel.
Lu- I agree with you. I tried the same recipe over the weekend. I wasn't thrilled either. I had been living in the Bay Area, CA and probably never got exposed to the more chewy east coast bagels, but I was expecting something a bit fluffier... I got good crumb with irregular holes and some tunnels in some cases (probably too wet dough), but the wonderful aromas of the sugars released from fermentation were not there... I am wondering if I got too used to the aromas released by wild yeast rather than commercial yeast. So, I have a question. What is the primary fermentation, or flavoring stage, in this bagel formula? I am guessing it's the sponge sitting out for 2 hours??? And also, this is the first time I am baking something from Reinhart, which takes the dough straight out of the fridge into the baking (well, boiling then baking in this case) stage...

There's only one thing wrong
There's only one thing wrong with your bagels - I can't eat them through the screen! Seriously, they look great.
Thanks KipperCat, they were
Thanks KipperCat, they were very good, and easy to make, because most of the work is done the night before.

Good lookin' bagels
I really like the BBA recipe -- they taste just like my favorite bagel from the little shop my friend used to own in North Carolina.
BTW, has anyone tried the bagel recipe in his whole grains book? I'm curious how those taste.
Thanks again...I haven't
