Bagels - In the Mix 2
« on: July 27, 2014, 04:45:02 am »
These are great!
Steaming in the varoma is an excellent option to boiling them (even if you use a different recipe I urge you to try steaming instead of boiling). I was able to steam 7 at a time..I'll be making these again for sure!

Tweaks: At the end of the kneading time stated in the recipe, I wasn't happy with the mix (dryish and in smallish balls), so I added 30g of water extra and kneaded for an additional 2-3 minutes until the dough 'looked right'.

Next time I'll also make the hole much bigger, I wasn't expecting them to rise so much during the steaming time.

Steaming would be much easier. Thanks.

Yes, I've wanted to make bagels for ages and ages but have never been bothered with the boiling part. These were so simple I'll certainly make them again!

Great looking bagels Jamberie. I've made the ones in the first QFITT book and loved steaming them in the varoma. Much quicker and easier.

They look great! I don't have ITM2 as I wasn't that fascinated with ITM1.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Great VMC! My advice is to make the hole bigger than you think :)
