I finally made bagels!
Jun. 10th, 2012 11:38 amI finally got around to making those bagels yesterday. I cheated a bit, though. The shaped bagels were supposed to rest in the fridge overnight, but I was impatient and let them rest only six hours and then I boiled and baked them.
I got pictures of pretty much every step, but I'm having difficulties getting them off my phone and onto the internet. So I'll just say they were hideous, but delicious. I need more practice shaping them so they don't look like little piles of dog doo.
Dominic has decided that he likes the bagels more than the pain a l'ancienne and is begging me to make them again today. I think I agree with him, but the pain a l'ancienne is so much easier!
Next up, I think I'll try ciabatta, focaccia, or casatiello. Casatiello seems likely since I have some hard salami and provolone in the fridge I need to use up.
Oh, and to
