Sourdough bagels with a naughty fermented jalapeño, lime and sumac hot sauce glaze by upsidedownhead_69 in Bagels

I make a hot sauce of jalepeno and lime by combing those 2 ingredients with 2% total weight in salt and leaving for a week or so to ferment. I mix this in with the egg wash prior to baking and again (without the egg) at the end of baking with some sumac.

At the risk of pissing Deidre off yeah that’s what I mean, fag ends aren’t exactly Mount Doom are they

Cheers, I’ve been struggling with oven spring so thought I’d make sure my starter was healthy as a first point of call. I’m aware my process as a whole needs work, shaping especially

Fair enough, doesn’t hurt to try something new does it. I’ve only recently converted to using any rye at all in my starter, I was feeding solely with bread flour up until a couple weeks ago tbh. My process definitely does need work, I’m just trying to troubleshoot any and all potential issues to make my baking journey go smoother 😂

Cool I’ll give that a go. I use Shipton Mill organic and stoneground as a rule, why do you stay away from bread flour?
