Made some bagels. Tried using either honey or malt syrup and the malt syrup is better. Ended up overproofing a few since it took to long to shape them all and get the water to a boil. None the less delicious.
What did you cook or eat today (June 2022)?

No pics, but spiral sliced ham (from the freezer, saved from New Year’s Day), a poached egg, and corn-on-the-cob.
They look good - I haven't made bagels for ages. How do you make the holes? I spin mine on the stem of a wooden spoon...

I cut the dough into 75 gram balls then pinched the middle with my thumbs and ring fingers. I moved both hand back and forth some to just bore through. I also made sure my ring finger was pushing on the seam of the ball so that most of the seem will end up in the hole to help get a smother surface. Stretch out the hole to help make the ring even by stretching out any part of the ring that is too thick.
Intended this for the current challenge, but I’m not sure yet, a Turkish-style ground lamb pizza:
I mentioned my wife has started Weight Watchers, so I monkeyed around with this a bit and it didn’t come out to my liking, though it’s not as bad as I expected it to be.
I will say, that’s the best egg on a pizza I’ve ever done. It was perfect.

For all of those avocado and mushroom haters, look away now...
Lunch. Still on 3 hot meals a day especially as I'm under the weather with a chest infection at the moment.

I don't "hate" avocados but I'm not in love with them.
Mushrooms I am in love with. All types; as far as I know.

I like the idea of it but the lamb looks burned. Can't really see the pizza crust... The egg does indeed look perfect.
That was part of the problem. That dough took a really long time to bake up, so next time, I’ll par-bake it first, then add the lamb about halfway through. It wasn’t quite burnt, but it was…crispy.
