Mercer Posted May 3, 2020 Author Share Posted May 3, 2020 From talking to foodies here in CO the water itself is so different the people here warn it's near impossible to make good pizza dough using the local Colorado water without filtering/treating it first to match NYC's water's mineral profile closer. I think bagels might be the same deal when you get to the point your really want to dial them in. Something about the increased mineral content because of how much dryer it is here. we'll probably make use of this recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting point though. I'll look into that. I'd rank the first try better than probably 90% of what's out there though. Not the absolute best I've ever had when compared to made from scratch boiled deli bagels, but also not far off from it either. Wouldn't get complaints serving them up in NYC.

misteraven Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Couple things I can improve upon... You really have to use bread flour to get the density correct. I did, but unsure how fresh it was since we had it in the freezer. Also, its still a but cold here so the dough didn't rise to double volume. I got close, but next time I'll wrap it in a heating pad. The recipe makes 8 bagels... Next time I'll only make 6 or maybe 4 out of the dough so they're super jumbo sized bagels, which I believe might make them taste a little more doughy, which I like. You also need to watch the end of the bake carefully as over baking will toughen up the crust. Mine were just on the edge of maybe being a little too much, but betting making them thicker might make them a little more forgiving in that regard. Anyhow, was an easy recipe regardless so I'm knit picking. Definitely need to pick up some more of that local made smoked ruby trout to go with the next batch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 @misteraventrout is so damn tasty. I treat myself to fish once a year when I go camping. I like catching cleaning and eating within a few hours. The only thing i wish I could do a little better is deboning those little bastards. Trout on a bagel sounds fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Turned one chicken breast into 3 sandwiches for the fam ( filleted and then pounded out and breaded 3 pieces) and one potato to make fries. Super cheap dinner. I went OD and made cayenne bacon fat butter for mine with blue cheese. Caterpillars ate all my lettuce.

abrasivesaint Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Who’s got the cheese sauce recipe for their boy? The one i just tried didn't pan out so well. Could be because the recipe i was loosely following called for 2 cups of milk and i only had 1 and so i added water and it called for 1lbs of cheese and i only had 10 ounces, ha. So here’s my watery ass attempt at a pepper jack mac n cheese with jalapenos.. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 By looks if you had skipped the water you might have been straight, or at least added only 1-2oz at a time to get the consistency. On the other side, a lot of cheese sauces use flour, so you could have increased your flour slightly to thicken that up and imagine you would have still been good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I went pretty hard in the old cooking thread back when symbols was still playing along and do not really have much interest in jumping in on this one but figured I would play along just a little with a cookware flex. Le Creuset, enamel coated cast iron cookware is, in my opinion one of the best investments you can make in the kitchen, Gumbo cooking in the bouillabaisser. The rest of the collection. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
