First time using diastatic malt powder. Perhaps a little darker on the outside than some people would like but the crumb is nice and proper imo. I like the crunch of the outside so these are to my taste. Pretty dang chewy and crunchy. Cooked down a handful of frozen blueberries to go with the cream cheese

    Looks like that crunch would be addicting!

    I gotta get some. I got barley malt syrup, but the malt powder seems like an equal upgrade

  3. what did you learn from your first time that you changed for your second go, they look amazing and I really wanna start making my own bagels

  4. These look like the best homemade bagels I have ever seen. Well done!!! I love adding diastatic malt powder.
    I’ve been thinking of using the barley syrup in dough and food grade lye in water (never have used lye in water – or ever) after seeing a receipt recently.

    These remind me of sidedoor bagels in Indianapolis.

    These look amazing! My bagels usually taste great but look all lumpy, these tops of these are what I hope to achieve!
