wild yeast bagels
After looking at our bagel recipe sit for months on my recipe stand, I finally made bagels! I don't know why I waited so long. Because I adore bagels....
After admiring Susan's (Wild Yeast) bagels several times, I decided to copy her and use my wild yeast starter too.
And how did the bagels taste? Well, I liked them! I loved them on their own and also with goat's cheese and red currant jelly. And coffee. Of course.
The bagels are firm and chewy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside - just the way that bagels should be (or at least I think so....) Another taster said that there was too much taste of sourdough and not enough of malt. I confess that I didn't really taste the sourness but am certainly willing to tone it down.
Any ideas on how to go about doing that? Can I just add more malt to the dough?
Here is the recipe I used:
This must be bagel season! I see that FloydM has just made bagels too.
