Hello & Happy Friday

 

 

 

 

 

 

When it comes to the weekend, it’s all about the homemade biscuits or bagels! Before social distancing, the thought of homemade bread made me really nervous lol. The kneading, the rising, what if the yeast doesn’t activate and the list goes on. There are many variables that come into play when working with yeast, but I promise you. If you adhere to a few guidelines, you can get a fab bread even using expired yeast! (most of my yeast was expired this year as it was hard to find at the height of the pandemic.)

 

When it comes to bagels, results may vary wherever you go. If you’ve ever had an NYC bagel, you’ll understand the stark difference in quality and won’t settle for a pedestrian bagel. So once I had the time to sit down and give it a go, I was off to the races creating countless varieties. View all the other bagel recipes here. If you can’t find a good bagel and hate store bought, homemade is the way to go!

 

Since we’ve done so many varieties, I was brainstorming of the next flavor and thought I should do one that is just a crowd please all around.. and the staples vegan Cheese Bagels with Chive Cream Cheese were born!

 

Let’s talk vegan cheese! just like bagels the quality varies in terms of texture and flavor. I’ll be honest, most times they are underwhelming. However, when it comes to a cheese that melts, I find that the shredded works pretty well. Bonus, it’s dairy free and you’re not left with a big greasy mess, enabling the bagels to hold up longer in terms of freshness.
