Attempted to make gluten free sourdough bagels yesterday. I'm not posting a photo because they are, um, not photogenic. The dough was sticky as hell & really unmanageable. There was no way to knead it. It was a thick, sticky paste. The recipe said not to add more flour. They cooked up very dark, & not smooth so the spikes (you read that right) got darker and look unpleasant.

Honestly, they taste delicious. I toasted one this morning and it's a good bagel. It just looks alien.

Overproofed the boule in the fridge, underproofed the sandwich loaf...

But the flavor was great! Followed Jeffrey Hamelman's Honey Spelt pretty closely except:
Used white spelt

A little bit less spelt than called for (ran out)

So a bit more bread flour, probably a difference of an ounce or two

I also added two tbsp of rye at the end to help it come together in the mixer.

Two loaves of bread on a wire cooling rack. One is an uncut boule, the other is a cut sandwich loaf, with the crumb facing the camera. A bit of a cutting board and serrated knife is visible in the foreground.

I'm baking this morning.
I've made bread and apple pie, but at one point I accidentally opened the very old recipe book that I'm using on the wrong page and came up against this. Utterly revolting.
Everything that I cook is vegan, which in some cases means a bit of adaption but the recipes for proper edible food in this book actually work really well.
There's at least no AI slop content in a 55 year old book.

Calf's head with brain sauce recipe. Revolting as it sounds, this is actually a real recipe from a book published as recently as 1970. The instructions go on to say that you can also use pig's or sheep's brains, which seems like a great way to pick up scrapie.
The book cover. "500 recipes for families" by Marguerite Patten
Apple pie before it goes into the oven. This pie contains absolutely no brains. Just apple's and blackberries from our garden.

Honey whole wheat bread in the bread machine! Really happy with this loaf - my last loaf was oddly misshapen.

Also, I took notes on all the timing sequences for the whole wheat cycle and my ability to pay attention and take notes for a 2 hour and 49 minute cycle feels like perhaps the bigger accomplishment. 😆
