Day 12 of being unemployed, i have made 3 batches of baguettes, 2 different tries at dutch oven loaves (neither came out well at all),a batch of sub rolls, a chocolate cake (was my son's birthday last week), and today a batch of bagels.
I do not have malt powder, nor did the grocery store in town. But I will be ordering some. The crust (skin?) was a bit too crackly, and not soft like bakery bagels. But were still great.
Ass bagels
Damn, those bagels look ass.!
ugly bread is still bread
I'll have some ugly bread with jam please :)
You can create smoother crust by boiling the bagel for 40 seconds and then egg wash. They will deflate and prune but after they rise and then bake they will return to fluffy.
Sometimes a crust that isn't soft or chewy can be made so by placing a wet cloth over after finished baking for about 15 minutes.
TIL Iwould eat ass.

I didn't have malt either, and just boiled them in maple syrup water, to get some sugar on the outer layer.
Also baked in the oven with a water bath on lower rack.
Oh maybe it's the week I make bagels again 😁
I mean, if you apply for a bakery job I would use this on the cv. Hell if I was interviewing you and asked about you as a person I would value the effort and skill of this baking.
You might wanna see a doc if your rectum resembles these.
