My Journey to The Perfect Bagel

I made my first batch of sourdough bagels on a whim and scraping jars of discard together. I fell short 20g and I was using stiff starter with a recipe calling for 100% hydration. I adjusted nothing, halved the recipe and took to my mixer. 

I used the recipe from Tiktok - @/thesourdoughhoe and ended up making 6, for my next batch I’ll be using Maurizio Leo’s sourdough bagel recipe with a sweet levain. It’s a new take and quite nervous trying but it’s definitely worth the try.
