Sourdough Bagels | Overnight Recipe

Using a recipe from The Clever Carrot I made these sourdough bagels. They have the perfect texture and mouthfeel. The most important two factors to me when eating bagels. Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Sourdough Bagels ♥ I am not a fan of the hard sell, especially when it comes to health products. Each person you speak to in a health store will have very different advice. Much of which is motivated by price rather than what is really good for you. I recently went to the opening of a new health centre. I was one of the first to arrive and it was immediately noticeable to me that I was also one of the only people to have a mask on. The shop is in a small area, and is quite cramped, making for very close contact with strangers. I was warmly greeted by the owner, and when she asked if I needed help I mentioned that I could see that her products were mainly from NEO. This is one of my suppliers so I know the range quite well. Today’s inspirational recipe from Lavender and Lime ♥ Sourdough Bagels ♥ #LavenderAndLime Click To Tweet Her reply had nothing to do with my statement, and all she was willing to say was how she only sells the best of everything. Something I noticed was not quite accurate when looking at some of the products. But as she is the sole importer of one range, that to her will be the best. And when I listened in on her talking to people she really pushed the hard sell, as in this is the only product you should buy with an entire back story. And whereas she may know what she is talking about I find this too pushy. Rather only stock what you believe works. And guide people to what they need when they ask questions. Don’t force stuff onto them while they are browsing the store. I know this is my personal feeling as I like to look without distraction. Click on the links for conversions and notes.

Then I make a hole in the middle with my index finger. I then place both index fingers into the hole, one from each side. I then roll my fingers over each other to widen the hole. Remember, it will shrink when the dough proves so make the hole wider than you think it needs to be.
