Bagels

Looks tasty, AB. How’d you like them?

Good last night and this morning! No complaints!

Pair well with pineapple cream cheese?

I just mashed some chopped fruit on there.

Those look great. Have you ordered diastatic malt powder off the king arthur website yet?

Second batch was even better ( I think I had my water amount in the dough off). And I just ordered the non-diastatic according to a recipe they had on their website so I will try that one first. This receipe makes more than I have been making, but I have had requests for bagels from people at my work and the woman's work.

So basically I'm starting a bagel shop soon. Swing by.

You're going to notice a color difference and, I think, better outside texture. But I could have just kept my last ones in a minute or two longer than normal.

(Next time I have to do them in two batches because the kids said they outside was too crispy. Should just get new kids.)

Total fucking disaster. My dough didn't dough. It was right between dough and batter so it didn't rise. Ah well, try again later.

D'oh!

Did you remember to add yeast and not invert the flour to water ratio???

If anyone is looking for food puns with their bagels, I got the place...

Got a fresh from the oven batch last week, it was worth a couple of minute wait. But the not still internally warm one I had yesterday was good, too.

Sliced up a fresh jalapeño this AM to top my bagel and didn’t realize until after I didn’t wash my hands very well and rubbed my nose a couple of times that it was the rare really hot jalapeño.

The most spice I can do in the morning some Tabasco on eggs. Need to wake up the innards first I guess.

Just diced some jalapeños to pickle for nachos later but since I have good hygiene I’m doing ok.

But you’re going to notice how uneven a job you did dicing them up while eating them and it’s totally going to ruin the nachos for you.

There’s been a little debate on our local NextDoor site about which local place has the best bagels. Normally I avoid that site like the plague. But I’ve been enjoying reading the petty bickering. To wit:
1: I like place a because the have chewy crust and soft middles.
2. Soft middle are not authentic NY style! It should be hard like rubber.
1: rebut
2: rebut
3: you’re both wrong!
Etc…

We have Friday breakfast meetings here at work, with a different team member responsible for bringing food each week. Bagels are by far the most common (and popular) breakfast item, and as a result I've been able to sample a fair number of offerings from bagel shops in North Jersey (Union/Essex/Bergen). This place might be my personal favorite. Chewy, doughy. Everything bagels generously covered on both sides. Even the veggie cream cheese is great.

Stopped here for the first time in years and GD are they still great.

Someone next to us at a diner yesterday ordered “one chocolate chip pancake on a bagel”

no

No jury would’ve convicted you, if you had smacked him upside the head.

[Ryan]

It was an old lady

[sancarlos]

Well then. Please don’t smack her.
