Hello, this is Joconde.
It's not easy to make a bagel that's crispy and chewy on the outside but soft on the inside, right? But with just a little tweak, you can make an amazing bagel.
Make a Poolish Dough
The term "poolish method" comes from Polish baking. It involves mixing water and flour in a 1:1 ratio and adding yeast according to the desired fermentation time. This method can be applied to any bread, and although it is a bit more complex, it promotes fermentation and enhances the flavor and volume of the bread.
I increased the amount of water in the poolish dough. This makes it easier to mix when making the main bagel dough. Using this method, even if you don't use high-quality flour, the bread won't have any floury taste, and you'll be amazed by how much it rises during baking.
I also introduce tips in the video on how to achieve a chewy yet evenly browned crust that's not just soft.
