Re: Today’s Bread

Quote from: ARenko on Yesterday at 05:27:47 PMI don’t think I’ve ever done egg wash on bagels.  I boil them in water with barley malt syrup and baking soda, then it’s into the oven.  But I’ve done plain bagels all but one time.  I think that time I just used took the still wet bagels and pressed them into the toppings.  And every bagel with toppings I’ve seen has always been on one side. 

And I haven’t flipped bagels – usually mid bake I add another sheet pan under the first sheet pan to keep the bottoms from cooking too much.

i agree if you make bagels the old school way no egg wash is needed.

I use soaked bagel boards and do top side down on the burlap for the first few mins on the bake and the flip them on the stone and finish baking.
