Sourdough discard bagels. 🥯

2025/4/26 Edited to

... Read moreSourdough discard bagels are a fantastic way to utilize the excess starter you may have while baking sourdough bread. Not only do they reduce food waste, but they also introduce a unique flavor that is rich and tangy. To make the best bagels, it’s essential to hydrate your dough properly and let it ferment. The dough should be rested to promote gluten development, which results in a chewy texture characteristic of great bagels. Also, be sure to boil your bagels before baking, as this step is crucial for achieving that glossy, chewy crust. You can experiment with toppings as well, such as sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning, or even a sweet cinnamon sugar blend! Additionally, incorporating herbs or spices into the dough can elevate their flavor, creating a unique twist. Don’t forget to check the comments for a step-by-step recipe that brings this delicious concept to life, and get inspired to use that sourdough discard creatively!

That rest for 1 1/2 to 3hrs. Depending how warm your house is once a doubles in size. It’s done proofing. On a clean surface with a little bit dusted flour, turned out out and cut the into eight pieces rolling into balls let them rest for 20 minutes. Preheat your oven at 400. Once rested poke a hole in the middle of the ball stretching out gently to make a hole. Once all the dough balls are shaped into bagels let them rest for 20 minutes. Start to boil some water with a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of baking soda. Once it starts simmering in 20 minutes, have passed for the bagels to proof boil the bagels on each side for 30 seconds. Then place on a parchment line baking sheet. Sprinkle whatever topping you want and bake for 30 minutes.
