Pumpkin Spice Bagels

I'm ready for fall and all the smells and tastes that go with it. That includes pumpkin spice. But don't call me basic. These bagels are anything but basic.

Pumpkin Spice Bagels
Makes 9
Ingredients 
2/3 C Water
1/2 C Canned Pumpkin
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1 tsp Salt
1Tbs Pumpkin Spice
2 C All Purpose Flour
1 C Whole Wheat Flour
2 tsp yeast

1/4 C Honey for the boiling water 

*Cinnamon Sugar mixture for sprinkling on bagels before baking*
In a large mixing bowl combine water, brown sugar, and yeast. Set aside until yeast is foamy. Add pumpkin, salt, pumpkin spice, and flour to the water mixture. Mixing until thoroughly incorporated and you have a supple dough that holds its shape.
Let dough rise at room temperature for an hour to an hour and a half until it is doubled in size.
Once dough is doubled in size knead dough and divide into 9 equal portions. Roll each of those portions into a ball and set aside on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Preheat oven to 425°. 
While oven preheats boil water in a wide pot. It can be a stock pot or something else that is that wide, but it doesn't have to be more than about 4 in deep. Once water is boiling add 1/4 cup of honey to water.
Pick up your shaped dough and gently pull a finger through the center of it stretching it out to create the hole. Drop your bagel into boiling water, boiling for about 2 minutes on each side. You can boil as many bagels as you feel comfortable putting in your pot so that they don't stick together.
Once the bagels have boiled set them back on the lined baking sheet. Continuing until all bagels have been boiled.
Sprinkle Bagels with cinnamon sugar mixture if desired. Then bake for 18 to 20 minutes until bagels are golden brown.

Sourdough Discard Chocolate Cake

I've made sourdough bread for years but recently started branching out and trying different things with my discard. I had made apple cheddar muffins with sourdough discard probably about 15 years ago, sourdough waffles like the ones I had tried in Las Vegas, but never really added it to anything else outside of bread products.  I tried Chocolate Chip Cookies a while back with good results so it seemed natural to try a chocolate cake recipe. I tend to make my baked goods less sweet so I adapted a recipe I found to suit our tastes and topped it with a lightly sweetened peanut butter drizzle. This cake was moist and perfectly sweet. Ingredients: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract 3/4 cup oil 1/2 cup sourdough discard 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 cup milk of choice 1/2 cup hot, fresh and strong brewed coffee Preheat oven to 350° and grease a bundt pan, set aside. In a large ...

Spiderman Burger Buns

My kids want to try the Spider-Man Whopper from Burger King but our Burger King was always sold out of buns so we decided to make our own. We actually like ours a little better. Give him a try and let us know what you think.

In a large bowl or a bowl of a stand mixer combine 1 cup of water and a tablespoon of yeast. Let sit while you gather the rest of your ingredients so the yeast can get activated. Add a quarter cup of sugar to the yeast mixture. Then add in flour, salt, and beet powder. Start to mix those together then add one egg and two tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined and the dough forms a ball that is tacky. Cover dough and let rest an hour to an hour and a half until doubled in size.
