It came to me one day in a way similar to my musings on heterosexual relations: How does one actually make them? Since BF is Jewish and LOVES them, I thought I would crank out the old breadmaker and see if it’s even possible…
Um, it was. Like not really hard at all. Basically, throw in the ingredients to the breadmaker (liquids first, then dry ingredients). Wait an hour-and-a-half for the machine to do its job and let the dough rise. Cut up the dough and make bagel shapes. Boil some water and then boil the bagel shapes for about a minute per side. Cook in the oven for 20mins. Done. Mystery solved. Were they good? Yeah, in the fresh way, but I’m a big fan of the Panera pseudo-cake-snack-bar bagels. I want bagels with raspberries and chocolate and cream cheese seeping from them. I’m totally gonna hack their sh-t!
And I have some engineering and tweaking to do, but I think I have some definite idears totally kill the competition. I will be Bagel King!
SWEET!!!
