Perfect Bagels Baked at Home with Martin Philip

[@emmiecook7769]

Like so many others who have commented - I was a bit intimidated by the thought of making homemade bagels. Martin's recipe and clear instruction made this so approachable and I had success on my first attempt! I've just recently began making sourdough bread and searched through the comments both here and on the King Arthur blog for how to replace the poolish with my starter and was happy to find guidance - so for anyone who'd like to do the same, simply add the grams of the poolish ingredients and replace that amount with equal weight of your sourdough discard along with the recipes required amount of instant yeast (for this recipe in particular that would be 364g of discard). Thanks again to Martin!

I have Martian's bread book and Craftsy class. Every recipe is a winner.

[@denniskirschbaum9109]

Those look fantastic. In addition to the salt and malt in the boiling water, I like to use a spoon full of baking soda. It helps the bagels brown in the oven and adds that kind of pretzel aroma and feel on the tongue that I associate with bagels.

[@justtrynnatellyou4836]

I've recently become hooked on baking and all things dough, preferably yeast. I love the King Arthur flours and that it's owned by its employees. I stumbled across this guy and his methods and education. Made these bagels despite being one of the overnight recipes. These bagels were absolutely YUMMY, DELICIOUS!! I saved and downloaded it.

I can't say I agree with his shaping technique. Twisting the dough is essential to giving a bagel its signature texture.

[@ccurran07able]

The bagel shaping method he's modeling these after, is the one Scratch Baking uses. Those bagels are meant to be a bit lighter in texture than a traditional NY style bagel.

I think it's to each his own, because I really don't like the broken look of the twisted version.

Hey, Martin. What do you recommend for using whole wheat flour? Can we do 100% whole wheat or do you recommend a ratio like 50/50 all purpose and whole wheat?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Hi Alby! You could use some whole wheat flour here. Up to 25% won't have much impact on the dough, any more will result in a more dense texture and will require additional water (about 2 teaspoons per cup of whole wheat flour). We recommend replacing no more than 50% of the flour in a recipe with whole wheat. I've had good luck using whole wheat flour for the poolish in this recipe, it adds flavor to the bagels but doesn't impact the texture or water amounts too much. Something else to keep in mind is that whole wheat flour will ferment faster so you'll want to keep an eye on your dough while it rises at room temperature. Happy baking! -👩‍🍳Morgan

We're so happy to hear that you're enjoying this recipe, Sherry! We wouldn't recommend just swapping in all rye flour here.

Yeah. On second thought, no. No credentials needed to know a real bagel from, well, anything else. A good, delicious, well prepared toroid roll with a hole is not necessarily a bagel. EVERY real bagel must have the malt, or a similar substance, to help create the shiny, crisp crust. EVERY real bagel has to be chewy, not soft and fluffy. Not from any "directorate" but from living and knowing and eating and baking. You go read the history and description, please. And then maybe you can have the credentials to know a bagel. And from KAF itself: "The thing that differentiates bagels from other breads is the lack of fluff and air - you want them dense and chewy". Good luck finding one.

Another bagel perspective: the inside of a bagel should be dense and chewy, not fluffy or airy. Fluffy and airy make really good breads, but, with respect -- a great food writer (I think it was Mimi Sheraton, but I'm not positive) said that if a bagel isn't rock hard by the end of the day, it's not a bagel. Dense, chewy, small. And, again, with respect: the malt IS essential for a true bagel. Not for sweetness, but for how it makes the crust. All that said, given how awful most commercially available bagels are, this version is definitely far superior. Just try to experience the original if you ever get a chance. Sadly, even in New York, they are very hard (no pun intended) to find.

[@ajchapeliere]

With respect, the average home baker might not be able to go through a batch of "true" bagels in a day. What good is a batch of bagels if you need them to last a week but they only last a day? At best that seems like a solid way to waste food or keep people who are concerned about waste/don't have anyone to share with from baking bagels. The "needs eaten today" bagel is fine if you can actually move them, but with respect, it has some limitations if you are not able to sell or share them.

Agreed. The whole bagel ethos I wrote about comes from a time when the bagels came from a local bagel baker and only the amount needed before they went stale was purchased. Functioned like a community oven except that you had the bagel artisan. I get that home baking is different. Doesn't change what a perfect bagel is: small, dense, chewy with NOT a soft outside.

Also extra bagels freeze well

So what recipe and or baker do u recommend

[@aleenas9077]

Is 24 hours too long for this poolish?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

We'd recommend 12 hours at most, since the yeast may become inactive by 24 hours. Hoping this helps! -🥐Lily

[@aleenas9077]

I ended up doing 12 hours. Thanks!​@@KingArthurBakingCompany

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Great! Please keep us posted 😄 -🥐Lily

[@aleenas9077]

Can I leave the refrigetated dough in there for 24 hours? This is before shaping it!

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

For the same reason as the poolish, we recommend no more than 16 hours at most for the pre-shaped dough. 😊 -🥐Lily

Malt Barley Syrup... no?

[@KingArthurBakingCompany]

Barely malt syrup or molasses can be used in the water bath for bagels! -👩‍🍳Morgan

[@allencohn9192]

65% hydration? Using AP, not bread flour? I'm pretty surprised at these choices for a bagel.

Going for a lighter bagel here

Looks like bread in the shape of a bagel. Bagels are dense and chewy with tiny holes.
