I have been baking cakes and cookies since I was a teen but am fairly new to bread baking, some forms of yeast baking and have never made bagels. All of the blogs and photos have been extremly helpful. I am very impressed with the level of education that King Arthur educators have and I think it is wonderful that all of you are sharing that knowledge, experience and know how with all of us. I do not know of another company that not only supplies recipes for their products, but also products that they do not carry, than shows you exactly how to. I am looking forward to trying this recipe as soon as I get the necessary supplies.
Thanks, Kathleen - you hit on our goal, exactly: education, and inspiration. And, since we need to stay in business, our hope is that sales will flow out of those first two, plus the inherent value of the top-quality baking products we offer. Have fun with your new venture into yeast - it's actually very forgiving and flexible, contrary to what most people think! - PJH
