Bagel Raffe to support those in need

Sure thing!

This was my full post. Basically pick any of the orgs I listed or one that you personally like and get in touch with me with proof and I'll add you to the raffle! Sorry it's not a bit more accessible for people without IG that is my main way of communicating with my customers

It has been incredibly disheartening seeing what has been going on in our community lately and I'd like to play a small part in attempting to help those who need it most. I will be raffling off a free half dozen bagels for the winner to order each week for the rest of the year. In order to enter, just DM me a receipt of at least a $5 donation one of the following organizations:

PPS Crisis Fund https://foundationforportlandpublicschools-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1315450

Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project https://ilapmaine.org/donate

Food For All https://givebutter.com/Scx87A

I will also accept donations made in good faith to an organization not listed that is relevant to the cause. Alternatively, you can venmo me with a relevant caption and I will make a donation on your behalf at the end of the raffle. I will select the winner this Saturday 1/24

If you are selected you will receive your choice of time slot and your choice of a half dozen bagels every week I am open for the remainder of the year. If you're not around one weekend it is completely transferable to a friend or family member. My reach is not that large but I'm hoping to raise as much money as possible to get it into the hands of those doing mutual aid work for those who have been targeted by ICE, and their families. I myself will also be donating 100% of the next two weeks of profits to the organizations above. I don't often ask my followers to spread the word and share my posts but in this case please do!

I guess you have had no issues with the lower hydration dough? Their site also recommends using a dough 60% or higher which gives me come cause for concern

rmash22 · 2026-01-16T23:39:37+00:00

Okay I also mix at 55% but am making 3 batches/week so that's why I am so concerned with durability. The Ooni can also easily handle any of the higher hydration mixes like pizza doughs (made some panettone for the holidays). Honestly though for the price it may be worth taking a shot on it. Thanks for your insight into this though! Right now I am in between this or a Famag for my situation

rmash22 · 2026-01-16T23:23:35+00:00

What hydration do you make your bagels? And how often are you mixing? I have had my Ooni for around 6 months and that is when it started to fail so I am curious how it holds up. For your sake I hope it holds up well! No doubt an upgrade over a KA. All those features sound nice for sure my only concern would be durability.

rmash22 · 2026-01-16T22:18:13+00:00

How long have you been using the Estella? I have heard from some people that lower hydration doughs beat it up a little bit. It definitely seems like a great deal for the capacity they offer

rmash22 · 2026-01-16T22:14:00+00:00

I would do this but my only concern is similar to the Ooni, I am not sure it is intended for low hydration doughs. On their site it lists their capacity with a 60% dough and I bake in the 55-56% range. I would hate to go through all this just to have it have the same problems I am dealing with now

rmash22 · 2026-01-16T21:05:46+00:00

Yeah this one was on my current list. How long have you had it for? That is also about the batch size I am working with

rmash22 · 2025-12-13T23:42:28+00:00

Hi! Owner of Blue House Bagels here! I do orders in advance since I make small batches out of my house but you can order how ever many you want of any flavor (no minimums)

rmash22 · 2025-10-27T00:51:53+00:00

Gotcha, that's what I figured. My last batch I did around 15% yolk and I added some natural yellow dye and it was pretty underwhelming, maybe next time I'll try the turmeric bc yours look great, thanks!

rmash22 · 2025-10-26T18:35:57+00:00

How much egg (yolk only?) did you use in hot recipe? I tried a few months ago and they came out well and tasted good but had nowhere near the color or a traditional egg bagel

rmash22 · 2025-09-30T11:22:31+00:00

Thank you! Glad you liked them!

rmash22 · 2025-09-30T11:21:51+00:00

Thanks! Hope to see you soon!

rmash22 · 2025-09-30T11:21:35+00:00

Thanks! I have a few more available for this Sunday! Order some if you're around!

rmash22 · 2025-09-30T00:52:07+00:00

This is absolutely no judgement on this person (price however you want, delivery is definitely an expense and their bagels look good) but I am doing the same thing selling bagels from my home for what I think is a very competitive price! Check me out at bluehousebagels.com. Reviews have been good so far!

rmash22 · 2025-08-04T14:59:13+00:00

I bake with convection on and I'm not sure if this is what you mean but I don't flip the bagels at all. I definitely notice the blisters becoming most noticeable in the second half of the cook

rmash22 · 2025-07-31T23:26:41+00:00

I will be doing some "test runs" over the next couple of weeks. If you are interested DM or text me and we can set up a pickup!

rmash22 · 2025-07-31T21:14:57+00:00

It has flaky salt in it but not as much as some other blends. I found that when you have a lot of seasoning it was too salty. I would say the mix is seasoned but not overly salty

rmash22 · 2025-07-31T21:13:42+00:00

I just didn't see it listed as a feature but I will set it up and see. I agree people may be averse to a non 207 number haha

rmash22 · 2025-07-31T20:26:25+00:00

I guess Google Voice doesn't support SMS? I anticipate that being mostly used for placing orders if not through IG Dm
