This months Bread Baker theme is all about bagels. I got the Classic Sourdough Starter recipe from my friend Mary. I decided to try my hand at adding the starter to a bagel dough I love.
#BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated each month on this home page.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. This month is all about bagels. A very big thanks to our host Heather King over at Hezzi Ds Books and Cooks
