| Pastry/Baking... Bagels and croissants... So I started making my bagels from scratch (well kneeded in the bread maker), and I'm wondering how I can improve them. They taste almost perfect except that the outside crust has a bit of a doughy taste. In bread maker: flour water honey (I tripled the amount from the book) yeast salt then you submerge them in lightly boiling sugar water (I think this is where they get that taste from.. SO Here's what I'm thinking I'm going to do. instead of submerging in water, I'm going to do the same thing I do to my homemade rolls, I'm going to melt butter over them when they come out of the oven to soften the crusts. Thoughts? Also my boyfriend LOVES croissants, and I've made it my mission to learn how to make them from scratch... anyone know a good recipe. I have a bread maker and can make things from scratch. I only have bread maker yeast on me though, but can buy other stuff if needed. We've been together for 3 years and I haven't found one yet!

I have never made bagels but I think the boiling in water... blanching .. is an important step to make them bagels. Maybe you are leaving them in the water too long? Or the water is not a full boil? I wish I could help more.. in Miami bagels are easier to buy I think if you put the butter it will make them rolls --idk also-- I always split my bagels and toast them... maybe that will prevent the doughie taste? good luck

| yes if toasted they taste fine, just a hint of doughyness... but when they are fresh out of the oven I usually eat a few (they're a bit smaller than normal bagels) and don't like to toast them then. I don't think I'm leaving them in too long, usually 5-10 seconds. Maybe my water isn't boiling right.
