My interest lies in baking breads and other foods – particularly desserts – that require precision and technique to come out right. I like a technical challenge and am always willing to jump into something most people will avoid because it’s too intimidating, difficult or time-consuming.
Along those lines, I love bagels. Bagels are one of those things that require technique and precision to come out right. Unfortunately, the vast majority of bagel shops outside the Connecticut-New York-New Jersey area make only average bagels. It’s an obsession of mine to find better bagels everywhere I travel. I’ll share with you what I find and will hopefully be able to point you to a better bagel experience in places you may not expect.
I also hope to share with you some great recipes I’ve found (usually altered to make them better tasting or more practical) and to share with you my techniques for making them perfect every time. You wont require expensive kitchen gadgets or unheard of ingredients to make anything I’ll post here. I’ll keep it clean and simple, but correctly prepared.
Enjoy!
