Recently a friend asked me to make some quintissentially New York bakery goods; bagels, biyali, rye challah and pumpernickel bread. Reversing my usual tendency to adapt,diversifiy or improve what's been tried-and-true, this time I kept to the basics – and tapped into previous posts to reproduce a great batch of these classics. Below are some shots of the results.
Sourdough Croissants
I love croissants. I love everything about them. Their layers of texture, from their crispy outside to their buttery...
Wow, Jeremy, they all look great, especially the Multi Topping Challah. One question: how do you manage to keep the indentations in the Bialys from filling up again? I tried my very best with onion rolls, and no matter what I do, when they bake they fill up and become perfectly round again.
