My first attempt at Reinhart’s bagels ended with flat wrinkled hockey pucks, so this weeks BBA Challenge was a welcomed opportunity to improve on my previous attempt. I made a whole wheat starter with one cup of rye flour in the final dough, and shaped my bagels in a small two-ounce size, perfect for little appetites. For the toppings, I used Alaea sea salt

May 30, 2009 at 11:44 pmAwesome! I really wanted to make pumpernickel bagels, but I compromised and just used some of my whole wheat starter and made half whole wheat bagels. Guess I’ll have to make more. Love all the little ones. 🙂

June 2, 2009 at 2:57 pmThey look so great! I just want to reach right through the screen to grab one (or two).
I’m still new to using starter for breads, but wow do I love the results!
