TCF - Chicken and Cheese BLT Wholemeal Bagel
0
So yeah, sammiches were an interesting choice, but anyone can just make a sandwich, so I decided to also make the bread as well. I wanted to try something new, so I made wholemeal bagels. Being neither american or polish or any other country were bagels are big, I have only ever had it once and I was annoyed about how overpriced it was. So yeah, that and having to boil it before baking made me choose it. :3 I made them wholemeal to make them a little healther too and I prefer wholemeal anyways, English people and their addiction for soft white bread, pfffft! Rye bread and wholemeal is where its at!
so yeah enough rambling (I am writing this at 4 in the morning)
recipe
And my prep pics
Preparing the yeast
Preparing the wholemeal dough
Shaping the Bagels
Boiling the Bagels
Dried Bagels sprinkled with sunflower seeds
Bagels fresh out of the oven
Now for the salad
Sizzling up some Bacon
Filling Layers (Philadelphia, Salad, Cheese, Bacon and then Chicken)
AND FINAL PRODUCT
Bam!
Cause one is not enough!
On LoL while nomming (and yes, that is my old, crappy laptop)
Close up
Reflection Time!
I probably should have maybe coated them with some eggwash to make the sunflower seeds stick a little better and to give it a nice shine. Also they all stuck to the baking paper which was annoying... And I think I should use a weaker cheese than a mature cheddar, maybe a mild edam... and maybe place the chicken lowest in the bagel and then the salad and then the bacon...Hmmmm, I definitely need to work on presentation, I am way too messy - but hey, it tasted great..
Advice and comments appreciated, as normal :)
