Found this in the cupboard which expires this month, so I guess I'm making bagels 
With whatever flour I can rustle up

My ingredients... are khorasan bagels a thing? I guess we're gonna find out :|
Sponge turned out well, though a little thick... I thought nothing of it
It was a bit tough in the mixer, so I started dropping in water while mixing on the lowest setting... And the torque was still enough to break the bloody shaft on my mixer!
This flour is really weird to work with - very little gluten forming, massively absorbent, took almost an hour manually kneading to pass window pane test
I hold out little hope for these bagels, but I will soldier on - will shape and cold ferment overnight, and then see in the morning!
I am not feeling great about these 
Gonna bring back to room temp and proof a bit more, even though technically they do pass the float test right now...

Bagels need boiled briefly
Four sesame, four za'atar, four plain
OH MY GOD the oven didn't turn on! It's not pre-heated! This is a disaster!
Ok, I think I recovered...
This is a brilliant book, btw
Well, they actually don't look terrible!
So they're actually delicious, and definitely bagels! Took a lot more work than with regular flour though :|
