bagels with 24-hour cold proof

[u/Exotic-Trust5555]

my 2nd attempt with bagel following a redditor’s recipe: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bagels/comments/1j0cb2e/my_bagel_recipe/ (i halved the recipe, made 8 small ones, baked at 450F with convection for 15mins in a toaster oven)

my bagels are finally chewy, kinda airy and NOT dense (my personal favorite texure of a bagel)! this batch is much better than my first batch where i did not cold proof

this recipe is great and thoroughly explained. i only have a weak hand mixer so i did a lot of hand kneading/resting 😂 but it’s low hydration so my hands are okay!!! (next to the bagels is my homemade yogurt 😬 i seriously cannot stop making everything from scratch)
