my own little sunday brunch
Special thanks to Connie from work who sent me the salmon while she works remotely from Alaska. It was (obviously) much appreciated!
a glorious bagel triumph
So Jessica, what do you do on a Saturday afternoon?
Well, I like to sleep in, work out, make some cold-brewed iced coffee, clean, and more importantly, overcome culinary roadblocks like high-altitude baking… which I finally did today!
I’ve been fussing with baking since I moved to Boulder. Breads never come out right, my cupcakes always over or under rise, things take so long to finish, etc. Ive wanted to try making bagels from scratch for months but was too scared to bother to try with altitude shenanigans. So I did some research about high altitude baking, found a good recipe, adjusted where needed (less yeast, more salt, less sugar, more water, less heat, etc), and went for it.
And ohhh snap was it ever a SUCCESS! The high-altitude demon is defeated! And of course I took pictures along the way…
