okay what’s different!
- 2 tsp cinnamon instead of 1.5
- NO pre-soaking for raisins
I think pre-soaking is good but not if the raisins are still plump already and mine are
well now i have like 45 minutes of waiting
bored now
i am committing bagel crimes
i am fully aware of what i am doing
i am also fully aware you lot can’t stop me xD
yes this is better, and the middle-grade topping adds a little pop without being overwhelming or turning into doughnut.
garland@moira Oh cool. I’ve never made my own bagels before. Do you have a favorite recipe?
@garland Yes! I put it up on my blog. I've been playing with the recipe since then, particularly adding more gluten.
ראַף 🟣Those are some nice 
@raf thank you! ^_^
Marcos@moira If those are wrong, then I don't want to be right.

I grew up in OH, you see and thought that bagels were... baked. And that was because every "bagel" I'd ever eaten was baked ... because that's what the bagel shops thought too.
Finding out about this was like having a hole into a new dimension blown through my world.
Michael Gemar@futurebird @moira Oh dear. A baked “bagel” is just a bun with a hole.
@futurebird I am like "sad david tennant doctor in the rain" sad about anyone who has to go through unboiled bagels
and the ironic thing is like
cincinnati is pretty much the US's most german city and i know from facts that german immigrants in america boiled
FUCKING EVERYTHING
!EXCEPT!
!BAGELS!
somehow.
xD
Lindsey 🐲@lindsey @futurebird Yeah! It's not that they're terrible... well, they tend to be terrible, but ... okay yeah they're terrible. Even as rolls. I was going to say "it's not that they're terrible, they're just not bagels" but all the ones I had (grad school in Kentucky is why) were in fact also terrible xD

Ma’am you are misrepresenting the fine people at Bialy’s 🤣
llewelly@futurebird @moira
for about 6 months I lived near a place that boiled their bagels in salt water and roasted their coffee beans on site. Place smelled wonderful.
then they went out of business, and someone else bought the name, and the building, and ran a totally different sort of place that didn't do either of those things, but it lasted for about 13 years.
Led By Gilded Fools@moira I was just visiting Mud Bay a couple doors down.
Frank Verhoeven@Flies4no1 Ha! Hilarious. I might look at that later. But right now I need to make the BLAGALS xD
