Sourdough Bagel Recipe
Learn how to make these homemade Sourdough Bagels
Bagels mmmm Cream Cheese mmmm!! We love these bagels, only minimum fus to create these bad boys. After they bake and cool, I slice in half and toast them and smear on as much cream cheese as I want! Favorite cream cheese is from organic valley cream cheese that you can grab on Azure Standard, it’s got a delicious taste.
As for what type of starter you could use, honestly I’ve used it at several different stages (active, fed hours ago, etc) as long as it can sit for 12 hours it will turn out wonderful. Thank you to Little Spoon Farm for the original recipe. These are fairly simple to make, if you would like these for breakfast you may need to make the day before or wake up in time to shape, allow to rise, boil & bake. See what works good for your schedule.
