I just tasted my bagels fresh from the oven. So glad to read that you had trouble getting the flour incorporated, too. I kneaded for a total of thirty minutes including the ten minutes it took to use all the flour. The dough seemed dry but the bagels are great. Thanks so much for organizing.

Trying to catch up….Here are my bagels, which I boiled and baked this morning: http://mixitbakeit.blogspot.com/2009/09/bba-challenge-3-bagels.html
I totally agree with you…I would make these once a week if there weren’t so many other breads to bake! =)

So I’m a bit behind. Making the bagels this weekend. Peter’s book is great, but I read and re-read your post before and during my baking. Thanks for the great information, advice, letting us know about your “mistakes” and the great photos. I have the laptop in the kitchen comparing my dough to your photos.

I can’t wait for the Brioche next. I’ve NEVER thought to even try.

Oh and can I just say the Artos, toasted with a spread of Nutella. Great bed time snack. Also thanks for the French toasts suggestion. That’s how I started my Sunday.

Hi Nicole,

For a non-bagel fan, I’m pretty delighted with this recipe. I found it pretty straightforward and simple to make. Good on you for tackling the dough with your whisk and hand-kneading it…I’ll have to keep that for next time! I used KA’s high-gluten flour and malt powder and it worked like magic. I’ve posted about it here: http://bonvivant.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/bba-challenge-3-bagels/
