What on earth are pizz-agels?

So, over the past couple of weeks the team at Nether Edge Pizza and me have got together and bakes some bagels in their wood fired oven.

We are planning to do this again, December 8th and December 9th from 8.30-11.30 (or until we are sold

out!) . The menu is available here.

We are committed to sourcing as much as we can from local providers: Birdhouse Teas, Frazers Coffee, cream cheese from Zeds. Spreads from Sheffield Honey and Just Preserves

So what are pizz-agels?

Pizz-agels:

Bagels baked lovingly in a wood-fired pizza oven

Bagel pizza:

A bagel cut open then dressed with tomato sauce and other pizza toppings before being placed back in the oven or under a grill

Vegan ‘Tuna’ mayo filled bagel

‘tuna mayo’ bagel with all the trimmings

I was looking for something slightly different – and vegan.

Something that loaded up a bagel into a filling-dripping meal: lots of protein, a textured mix with a shift in flavours as you make your way through the bagel.

I chose to do this on a plain bagel but a seeded onion is also good for this:

  • Take  half a can of cannelini beans and mash with a spoonful of humus
  • Open up the bagel and place rocket (or your favourite leaf on either side).  Get a bit of salt and pepper on for taste at this point.
  • Now spoon up  the bean and humus mix on one side, topping with red onion and a spoon of Heart Veganaise.
  • On the other side, slice some avocado and tomato, add a sprinkle of fresh chili if you like that sort of thing
  • Bring the two sides together (but don’t squash it!)
  • Please use a napkin!

This will be the vegan option at the November Bagel School, so to test the filling and have a fun day learning to make bagels like this, book now.

The power of a true bagel

Yesterday I catered for an event about writing across generations,  at Theatre Delicatessen in Sheffield.

TD is a special place; they are nearing the end of their ‘fringe’ season; and in September they will be putting on Departure Point – a space for new theatre.

feedback frm thetare delicatessen eventI was really flattered when someone who had been at the writing event made a special effort to come to me to say what delicious food it was. She also said how wonderful the bagels were.

more feedback from theatre delicatessen eventSo what makes them special? They are vegan and organic and handmade, well yes that’s ok. Lots of bread is and it does make a difference.

Supermarket or mass produced bagels on burlapbagels often tastes like manufactured  bread with a hole in it. When the bagles are t in the oven they are steam injetced first.

In contrast true bagels are boiled before baking (there is a science to this too!).

And before the boiling that the long, slow second proving.

This is the power of the true bagel.
