i could definitely feel a difference in the dough while kneading btw. stiffer while still very elastic, more resistant

now that they’ve cooled… oh yeah that’s definitely chewier. i added enough vital wheat gluten to get the protein percentage up to standard bagel and while that was only 6.5g it makes a difference you can feel.

and @annathepiper says this is best texture so we’re definitely across the light-chewy uncanny valley and into proper chewiness ^_^

@moira I made some bagels. These are sourdough. I can see where I probably should have stretched them a bit more before boiling — the reverted to ball shape while rising in the oven — next time I will do that initial shaping a little better.

@btrinen Very even! Nice!

Also, shape schnape, how do they taste? ^_^

btrinen, 5 months ago

@moira They taste like bagels!

moira, 5 months ago

@btrinen Then well done! ^_^

@moira
Dry yeast keeps almost forever, if you keep it cold and dry.

@demerara sounds reasonable

still not digging it out of the compost tho', that one's on me, they can go live in a nice compost pile on the eastside xD
