Pumpernickel Bagels
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The outside was rougher than I would have liked because I couldn't knead the dough enough. It's too much work. Especially with this batch because the pumpernickel flour is so light that the dough needed 3-4 cups of regular flour just to keep it from being a sticky, impossible to work with, mess.
The flour was a gift from Lyn Netzler, the owner of one of the most popular stores in town. In exchange, all she wants is my recipe, which I would gladly give to her for nothing. If her bakery starts pumping out bagels, there are going to be some increibly happy palagis on this island. There might even be a few Samoans who could fall for the spell that bagels seem to cast on the most of the western world.
I don't think I'm going to stop making mine even if Lyn's starts producing them. It's just too much fun and so satisfying.
