@Frosty hook me up with yr bagel recipe

So this is the recipe I used to get started.

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/220619/real-homemade-bagels/

All of the proportions and stuff and the basics work well. I do make these mods:

The ingredients in the recipe make way more than six bagels. I usually stretch this out to 10.

Either sub malt syrup for honey or increase the honey in the water by 50%. The malt syrup gives them a little more of a crunch and keeps them moister. If not using malt syrup the extra honey helps and adds a solid sweetness.

Don't ferment how the recipe tells you to. Make the dough the night before, let it ferment in the fridge, and pull it out about two hours before cooking to let it finish. Watch them closely on this last part so not to over ferment. The cooler temp slows down the fermentation so the gluten strands are weaker. You'll get a chewier, less bready bagel this way, at least that is what I've found.

I don't roll the dough out into a log either. Imo, cutting a log and connecting ends risks lopsided bagels. The connected part of the bagel cooks weird too because there's an unnatural break in the gluten strands. Instead, I separate the dough into balls, poke a hole in the middle with my fingers and work the dough into a bagel shape. Shaping takes some practice since making them a few times is the only good way to get a handle on how they'll cook into their shape.

Once they're shaped, if they're not going in the water immediately I'm covering them in Saran wrap and putting them back into the fridge. I've ruined the ferment and ended up with bready bagels by letting them go another 20 min at room temp since I wasn't ready to boil. If you do this give them a few minutes to warm up at room temp before dropping them.

I'm not remotely religious but if there's an old church anywhere around where we're walking when we're in Europe, we're always stopping in. My wife has had to limit me to three a day because otherwise, according to her, we're just spending all day wandering around old buildings

I’m looking forward to Tuscany in November. Drive to a little town, have a nice lunch, check out their local church and piazza. Rinse and repeat the next day.

Which city did you guys decide to use as a home base? I can't remember.

Just outside Siena. San Rocco a Pilli is the closest town.

Super jealous. Really want to get to Lucca at some point. Don't know if that's in your plans or if you've been, but I've heard really good things. We're already planning a trip back to hit up Sardinia next Spring.
 
I believe the wedding we're going to on Monday is just outside of San Rocco a Pilli as well. I haven't really paid much attention to that specific aspect since we're just getting on a shuttle in Florence and going to the site on the day of the wedding but that sounds vaguely familiar.
 
I just found out what baby front is. Can it end now, please?
 
Unlimited vacation days? Jesus Christ how do you all get these jobs? Fuck. My Wake Forest degree, skills, and years of experience in IT, Sales, Customer Service, is opening literally zero doors for me. I’d have been better off being an assistant manager at Papa Johns at 20 then getting a fucking Psych degree.
 
easily the grossest thing my wife does is put Catalina dressing on her pizza, which she swears is a Thing for people from the gulf coast

I made fun of her tonight for her "ketchup ass 2 dollar bottle of Kraft dressing" and she responded that she only uses ketchup when there's no Catalina dressing, which I think might be an even bigger affront to the idea of pizza

this is all crazy person shit, right

to be fair, unlimited pto is largely a scam that suppresses actual vacation time

(but yeah i hear you man :( )
