January 2008

These lean bagels (containing only flour, water, malt powder, salt and yeast) were made with two kinds of yeast: wild and a tiny bit of active dry.
They are garnished with poppy seeds and sesame seeds.

They're excellent with goat's cheese and red currant jelly.
The bagels are firm and chewy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside - just the way that bagels should be (or at least I think so...).
Here is an even closer view of the crumb.
