My first sourdough bagels
I have made a sourdough starter and my first project is sourdough bagels.
I have been using "Baking Artisan Bread: 10 Expert Formulas for Baking Better Bread at Home" formula to make bagels and I quite like it. so I decide to adapt the formula.
Ingredients:
Leaven
- 1 tablespoon of my sourdough starter.
- 125g water
- 125g Strong bread flour
Main dough
- Leaven 240g
- Strong bread flour 295g
- Water 110g
- Diastatic malt 6g
- Salt 3g
and the result is pretty good. It's chewy and taste good and not sour at all. The only thing is I think I have over-proved it so the bagels are not as dense as I expected from sourdough starter.
