I can see it but I can't taste it.Thought I'd give the Franco Pepe Margherita Sbagliata a go for Christmas. Took a shot before & after the toppings. Went with sourdough made from Trader Joe's Organic All Purpose w/ 10% home milled hard white.

Did my video not post for you?? I've watched it back like 10x already, lol!I can hear it, but can't see it. Sounds delicious, though!!
Tried it on my phone & PC. Audio only for me, but all of my electronics are semi-outdated...Did my video not post for you?? I've watched it back like 10x already, lol!
Same for me bro.Tried it on my phone & PC. Audio only for me, but all of my electronics are semi-outdated...
Made some bagels with my daughter yesterday, cinnamon raisin, and blueberry cinnamon. Dough was a bit dry, hence all the wrinkles, didn't affect the taste though, they came out amazing! The recipe is pretty easy, too. We'll definitely be doing more of these.

Au contraire, I sir, am the lucky one ?.I've never had a homemade bagel.
What a treat!
And how lucky is your daughter to have a Dad that bakes w/ her? ???

You don't know what you're missing @UncleB .
Here's the recipe I used:
Dry mix:
4 cups bread flour
2t salt
4t sugar
2T softened butter finely chopped
Wet mix:
1t yeast
1 cup warm water
1 egg beaten
Add Dry mix to Wet mix and bring together into a ball of dough (mine was a bit dry, so watch the water). Let sit 10 min.
Knead, let sit 10 min, Repeat this 2x
Then let sit 1 hr (dough should double)
Punch it down, cut into 9 equal balls, and form into bagels. Put them on parchment on cookie sheet. Let stand 10 min.
Now you need to boil the bagels for about 3-5 minutes, in batches on 3 or so (they'll float & puff up).
Lay them back out on the sheet to dry a bit.
Preheat oven to 475f.
Brush them with eggwash (1egg beaten w/ a pinch of salt)
Lower heat to 400f & bake for 15-20 min.
Dry on wire rack.
Eat it w/ cream cheese or butter ?.
You can get fancy and add stuff to the dough, like raisins & cinnamon or whatever. You can also throw some cheese on top or sesame seeds, etc. before baking.
Thanx for the recipe, of course, you know mine will be infused!!! Totally agree with @UncleB, spend all the time you can connecting with your children . I'm a fuck up, {with serious potential}, and both my spawnlings turned into responsible adults. We were always involved with our kids, no real pushing them, but that time with us shaped who they became, and I could not be prouder!Au contraire, I sir, am the lucky one ?.

Never heard of purchasing one, forgive me, but the whole idea of that sounds quite scammish to to me since it's so simple to make your own. I'm just being opinionated because I stared my own a couple months back and I love it.Anyone ever bought a sour dough starter online or a source for an established start?
I know you can make one, but using one that has some history would be cool, if that makes sense.
I havent but have considered it! King Arthur flour here in New England sells theirs which is about 50 years old and Ive seen listing for starters that are 200+ years old. But Ive also been told the age doesnt matter after a certain point.Anyone ever bought a sour dough starter online or a source for an established start?

All good points @Gentlemancorpse .I havent but have considered it! King Arthur flour here in New England sells theirs which is about 50 years old and Ive seen listing for starters that are 200+ years old. But Ive also been told the age doesnt matter after a certain point.
The main reason I've consideted it myself is three fold (and dont tbinknits scammish @Trichitect, though I totally see your point!).
One, Ive just had bad luck making my own in recent years. Back in college I did it with no issue but since Ive had kids ... I forget to feed it often enough, or the natural bacteria in my environment doesnt want to cooperate or it just plain wont work. Simple doesnt mean easy.
Second, I actually am curious if age and location make a difference and thibk it would be a fun expirement to bake the same recipe using a starter from say King Arthur and another from San Fransisco.
And finally... I have really severe ADHD and have a tendency to hyperfixate on hobbies for short durations. Sometimes if it take a few weeks to get a takes a starter going, I no longer want to bake by the time its ready. Or Ill have one going and just forget about it conpletely, then decide I want to bake and its dead, so I get discouraged and abandon ship. If I can order one and its here in a couple days, I could just get it, bake right away, and then if it dies, i just reorder it. And theoretically if i order from the same place, like King Arthur, then its always the same starter, so its like having someone hold a keeper cut for you right? Its always available, but I dont have to maintain it.
Anyways, those are my thoughts as I happen to have just been looking at this. If I pull the trigger @Caddis ill let you know how it goes.

I totally get that, Ive just come to realize frugal and practical can have a different meaning for different people. I guarantee you Ive wasted way more money and time starting over again and again than I would just buying the damn thing haha.All good points @Gentlemancorpse .
I guess I'm just too damn frugal & practical, homegrown FTW!
I got our origanal keifer grains and sourdough starter online from private party.Anyone ever bought a sour dough starter online or a source for an established start?
