Breads
I made two bread-based things this week and was all excited to post about my results, but the actual bread didn’t turn out well and I think it was due to operator error, rather than the recipe, so I’m going to try again and tell you about it later.
The other recipe was for bagels, which turned out great. (Although, being me I feel the need to make some changes next time). The story behind the breakfast: Saturday night I fell asleep putting Fiona to bed and didn’t clean the kitchen. The next morning I took one look and decided that Fiona and I would go out for bagels. Naturally I then thought “I could make these at home” So I did.
Here is the recipe I used, chosen because the picture looked the way I wanted mine to turn out and I had most of the ingredients. I used wheat germ instead of bran flakes, since that’s what I had on hand and I think I’ll add more salt next time (this may have been because I don’t generally measure salt when making dough). I’d also like to try some kind of egg wash, or possibly just boiling each side a bit longer, for a more bagely exterior. Fiona and I have been eating them up every morning since.
