Bagels!

First attempt at bagels, I tried a plain one already and it was delicious.

Fed my starter last night (8 pm?) with a 1:3:3 and it was ready to go at 7 am this morning.

100 g active starter

255 g water

40 g honey

10 g salt

500 g bread flour

Mixed with my stand mixer on low for about 6 minutes, then let rise for about 8 hours until it doubled

Shaped into rings, let proof for 45 mins

Boiled 1 min on each side (stock pot w 2 tbsp sugar), then put onto cookie sheet to bake at 425 for 25 mins!

They turned out nice and crispy on the outside while still chewy on the inside. I think next time, I need to handle them less because the outer dough texture isn’t as smooth as I would’ve wanted.
