Trail Bagels - How to Make Your Own Bagels

Upstate bagel lovers and culinary trailblazers alike will enjoy this hands-on workshop all about crafting authentic New York–style bagels. Participants will explore every step of the process, including:

• mixing and kneading
• rising and fermentation
• shaping prepared dough
• boiling and baking

Along the way, we’ll talk about creative add-ins and flavor options that make homemade bagels uniquely your own.

This program will be led by member owner of Honest Weight Food Coop, Maureen Sara, a retired educator who believes in lifelong learning. With the encouragement of her youngest daughter, she began baking bread a year ago, and her most recent adventures in baking are bagels! Bread is life and life should be fun, especially in the kitchen.

This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the East Greenbush Community Library.
