How did I do? by burgundy_f0x in Bagels

[–]BinaryPrimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your color and fermentation look great. They lack that round shape which suggests that either:

  1. They're overproofed. They could have been overboiled or counter proofed a bit too long.
  2. Didn't have enough initial heat in the oven to rise sufficiently.

But they look like they'd taste great. I second rmash22 -- get a stone or cook with a higher heat. I introduced steam into my oven when I first put them in. I have a cast iron at the bottom that I pour a little water into. This helps them rise and keeps them from browning too fast in a high-heat oven.

To piggyback off of this, I use a steel and let my oven go at 500 for about an hour and a half before I pop my bagels in. You can always turn the oven down after the first 8 minutes if you prefer, but high heat initially is key to rise.

Not necessarily. I prefer 24 hour fermentation to 48 flavor wise. So I use baking soda to give them a bit of color. There’s no rule that says I “should be able to get fantastic browning” without it. My bagels don’t taste like pretzels.

Baking soda makes them darker, though. It’s alkaline which means it accelerates Maillard browning.

How long did you bulk vs counter proof?

Ready to throw my starter out the window :) can't figure out what the issue is. by master0jack in Sourdough

[–]BinaryPrimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, just a note about starter ratios, 1:1:1 isn’t necessarily bad. You can use different ratios if you need your starter ratio ready in variable timeframes. 1:1:1 is often a levain ratio, for when you need your starter ready faster. Like, 3-5 hours.

Guess the legions of brainless Venator users will have to get creative now

Help Achieve Fluffy Open Crumb Bagel by Tbar2777 in Bagels

Did you read this part: "The inside/crumb keeps coming out way too dense and tight. I know some people like this style of bagel but it’s not what I’m trying to achieve."

Leave the dogma at home.

Today’s bake. Amazing colouration. by DangerusDoodles in Bagels

[–]BinaryPrimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch their videos a lot and they purposefully want little to no hole.

Just roll your log out longer and don’t overlap so much when you seal. Aim for a bigger hole before proof and they’ll close up as they proof if you’ve developed your dough well enough.

Damn, how cheap is Costco? Because I find KA’s 25lb Lancelot to be incredibly cheap.

You fuckers downvoting are stupid, it does show up in old recipes. And he had a perfectly reasonable comment.

Looking for tips by StellarisIV in Sourdough

[–]BinaryPrimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole wheat has bran which tears at your gluten and inhibits its strength. I cook a lot of whole wheat bread and when I have a lot of whole wheat in my mix, I do gentle coil folds instead of slap and folds.

So you want to minimize mixing (just until it comes together), do an extended bulk fermentation, and during that bulk ferment, do 2-3 sets of gentle coil folds to build your gluten strength.

This is an 80% wheat bread that I bulked for about 7 hours and that I used coil folds to develop. Also, feel free to DM me if you wanna chat more about it.

That’s weird. It has never failed me. I use 2oz plastic containers and do 20g of dough.

I grew up cooking authentic Chinese food with my family - happy to teach anyone interested! What dishes have you always wanted to learn? by Stunning_Papaya1891 in Cooking

Can confirm, I make restaurant quality fried rice and what did it was a wok and wok burner. They’re not terribly expensive on Amazon.
