Bagels Continued...

So the bagels I wasn't feeling so hot about yesterday actually turned out pretty good! Next time, I think I'll know what to expect so I won't worry or whatever about them. I might try some flavors next time I make them, like cinnamon and raisin, or blueberry. For now, poppy seeds were all I had, so that's all I made. It took me about 3 hours. First, you dissolve and wake up the yeast, mix in all the ingredients, let it rise for about 1 hour, shape them, and let it rest for another 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes, you boil them in a pot (next time I'm going to use a wider pot rather than a deeper one, the bagels float!), and bake for about 20-30 minutes. Then you enjoy!


Boiling the Bagels


All pretty and ready to eat after baking!


If you'd like the recipe, then you'll have to wait until I can actually post it because I have to go to work in about 15 minutes. Or you can just email me at succeedingmartha@gmail.com.

Bagels

I'm currently in the process of making bagels. So far, I'm not sure how they're going to turn out. The dough is really tough, but I was a little unsure of their results from the beginning. My yeast wasn't bubbling like it was supposed to. Oh well. Practice makes perfect, unless these turn out perfect...which I doubt. I'll know the results in about 2 hours. Still waiting for it to rise, then I've got the baking time and all that fun stuff.
