In the Kitchen with Betty

 

Betty and I have had some ups and downs lately. This loaf was a down. I tried a 24 hour cold proofing for the first time and ouf...all that extra fermentation made a very sour loaf. I won't be doing that again. 12 hours is the limit for me. 

Straight off that fail Betty and I tried making a few bagels. 

I was rather intimidated by all the steps you have to take. I've never boiled bread dough.

Whoops...I was caught up in something that was going on with the Olympics and let them get a little too brown in the oven.

So I split one right after taking it out to see how bad it might be and it was so good that even after protesting he was full from dinner, The Mister ate an entire half covered in blueberry jam. For the record, I did not cold proof these at all. They went in for the boil right after their second rise.
