“Uniformity is only cool when that’s what the artist wants. BE YOU.) Roll the balls in your hands until the balls are spherical.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH

Cool, thank you!

Much obliged

Followed the recipe and produced perfect wood fire like bagels. Thanks.

I cooked a few in the BQ and they were different but just as good.

I am a good cook, but a bad baker. The one thing I do bake is flatbreads. ( BTW almost every country has them ) Perhaps it is time to move on to something thicker than a pencil.
Cool you sharing your knowledge again man.
Cheers!

Shoot! I checked the pre-made dough at the supermarket, but all they had was one sad-looking rosemary dough. Then I forgot to get the yeast to do dough from scratch.

Oh well, at least big tubs Philadelphia Cream Cheese (with Canadian milk*) were on sale.

  • I wonder if the dairy lobby in Wisconsin has thought about their NAFTA bitching carefully? If the socialist Canadian control boards were dismantled, and they could sell their product into Canada, but then Canadian dairy would be free to sell into America – and it would be marketed as “Absolutely no damned rBST!

Before you go wishing, you probably might want to study more on what kosher inspection certification processes are involved in dairy products or meat. Check with your local Orthodox Rabbi and be prepared to spend lots of time on the subject.

FWIW a couple of the kashrut inspectors I’ve met had doctorates in biochemistry that were relevant to their work.

One of the things I miss about Montreal (it sure as fuck isn’t the weather) are sesame bagels, piping hot and fresh out of the oven at St Viateur. It was all too easy to wolf down like three of those while standing out front on the sidewalk (especially at 3am). In fact, I think it’s basically impossible to buy a bag and not eat at least one right away.

Reading this, I might just try my hand at making some at home…

Nooooooo!

My local order rabbis? In L.A., two things of note:

  1. Doheny Meats was my family’s butcher going back to my grandmother. Noooooooo!!! (DuckDuckGo it).

  2. TaKosher was a food truck owned by the guy I carpooled with to Hebrew school. He’s a stand up dude and was raised more strict than I was. The Rebbis killed TaKosher as a mobile platform. If memory serves, they wanted my friend to pay for a full time rabbi on the truck. I think it died before Doheny Meats.

I wish Kashrut laws took more into account animal cruelty and modern practices.

Complex subjects are complex. FYI regarding food trucks or any eateries a masgiach (not a rabbi much less a Rebbi) is always required by major certification agencies. If the owners don’t like it they can always try for independent certification with lower standards.

how did it go?

Really really well actually! These proportions worked out well. When I first started mixing I was sure there wasn’t going to be enough moisture, but they were just the right consistency.

I made 6 bagels, boiled them for 2 minutes and baked for 18 mins. I’ve been telling anyone who lsitens now that I know how to make bagels really easily.

OH! But 20g of salt was wayyyy too much… try 15 or 10.
