Bagels are easily one of our favorite breakfast foods. They’re satisfyingly tasty both plain and simple, or everything’d up until they’re ready for the Met Gala. We use a bit of diastatic malt powder to get our bagels red carpet ready with an even browning and perfect chew.

1. The recipe calls for 13 grams salt (1 tbsp & 2 tsp.) but this isn’t correct. 1 tbsp is 19 grams so are we supposed to use the weight measurement or the volume measurement? 2. The recipe doesn’t mention punching down the dough before shaping. Mine has a developed a lot of air bubbles. Do you degas it before shaping or not? 3. Once the bagels are formed and refrigerated overnight typically dough would be covered with saran, but your recipe doesn’t mention covering the dough. Should it be uncovered to dry out? 4. That’s a huge amount of poaching liquid for 8 bagels. Shouldn’t the recipe be halfed?

All volumetric measurements will differ. I would suggest measuring by weight if you feel the volume is too much. the shaping process will degas the dough. Yes, the dough will need to be covered over night with plastic wrap to prevent the forming of a skin on the bagels. If you feel the poaching liquid is too great you can make a half batch and it should work the same.

Are you sure that Diastatic Malt Powder alone is enough without any yeast? I’m not brave enough to attempt unless recipe explicitly describes that yeast is omitted intentionally.

Instaferm Red is a yeast.

wow, that is a lot of Diastatic Malt Powder – recipes I’ve seen usually call for ~0.8% but you’ve got 4.7%… 32g is not a type-o, correct? also, I’m doing sourdough rather than yeast so not sure if that makes a difference. thanks!

The recipe is correct, the amount of DMP makes for a chewier bagel! Sourdough shouldn’t effect the final out come but it make take some minor tweaks to get right. Let us know how it comes out.

how long does instaferm yellow yeast last in freezer?
May 12, 2022 4:10 pm
As long as it is properly stored it should last two or more years. Best way to test it is to add a small amount to some warm water with a sprinkle of sugar. If it begins to bubble within 10 to 15 minutes then the yeast is still active.
