Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City.

We've never been a kosher bakery, but what we do is a true New York bagel. A lot of people don't boil [bagels], they just bake it, but we boil, which gives it the shine, puffs it up and gives it that unique flavor with that crisp crust. It's just a good bagel, and that's what we do.\" Scher estimates that New York Bagel & Bialy easily produces 2 to 3 million bagels a year as one of the main wholesale bagel suppliers in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrary to popular belief, it's more than just New York water that makes a bagel taste best. It's really just an undying commitment to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/05/21/405190434/chew-on-this-the-science-of-great-nyc-bagels-its-not-the-water\">boiling process\u003c/a>, and both Kaufman's and New York Bagel & Bialy honor it religiously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaufman's owner Dworkin believes a good bagel is bound by ritual and process. Whether eaten warm out of the oven with a little butter, or toasted with a \u003cem>schmear\u003c/em> of Nova lox, chive cream cheese, and thinly sliced onion, cucumber and tomato, a bagel \"\u003cem>is not \u003c/em>a bread doughnut!\" as Dworkin notes. \"It should be dense, it should be crusty, it should be chewy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating back to 17th century Eastern Europe, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.haaretz.com/.premium-doughs-and-don-ts-the-jewish-roots-of-the-bagel-1.5336753\">bagel\u003c/a> has become synonymous with the story of Jewish struggle and survival itself. Representing the circle of life, the bagel embodies the mystic — and we simply don't know who we'd be without a warm bagel embrace during life's most sacred occasions, from \u003cem>bris\u003c/em> (circumcision) to shiva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just like the Jewish people, the Skokie Jewish delis have had their trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From a 1980s salmonella scare and a 1990s union-busting case to a devastating fire in 2011, Kaufman's has had to reinvent itself against all odds. Rising from the ashes, Kaufman's now thrives as a robust sit-down delicatessen and bakery with delectable desserts and a huge menu of sandwiches, salads and Jewish comfort foods. Dworkin states proudly, \"We're in the business of memories. Our biggest competitors? Memories of your grandmother's gefilte fish.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simply put, Kaufman's and New York Bagel & Bialy thrive because \"everybody loves a good bagel,\" Scher says. \"Plain, Mishmosh, Onion, Poppy, Sesame, those are our best sellers. We have people who come in from really far away — Israel, France, Wisconsin — and when you walk in here, you know, you just feel at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrounded by memories of our mother at our family home in Skokie, the presence of bagels — yes, even at Passover — was a blessing and a comfort.

A lot of people don't boil [bagels], they just bake it, but we boil, which gives it the shine, puffs it up and gives it that unique flavor with that crisp crust. It's just a good bagel, and that's what we do.\" Scher estimates that New York Bagel & Bialy easily produces 2 to 3 million bagels a year as one of the main wholesale bagel suppliers in the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contrary to popular belief, it's more than just New York water that makes a bagel taste best. It's really just an undying commitment to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/05/21/405190434/chew-on-this-the-science-of-great-nyc-bagels-its-not-the-water\">boiling process\u003c/a>, and both Kaufman's and New York Bagel & Bialy honor it religiously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaufman's owner Dworkin believes a good bagel is bound by ritual and process. Whether eaten warm out of the oven with a little butter, or toasted with a \u003cem>schmear\u003c/em> of Nova lox, chive cream cheese, and thinly sliced onion, cucumber and tomato, a bagel \"\u003cem>is not \u003c/em>a bread doughnut!\" as Dworkin notes. \"It should be dense, it should be crusty, it should be chewy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dating back to 17th century Eastern Europe, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.haaretz.com/.premium-doughs-and-don-ts-the-jewish-roots-of-the-bagel-1.5336753\">bagel\u003c/a> has become synonymous with the story of Jewish struggle and survival itself. Representing the circle of life, the bagel embodies the mystic — and we simply don't know who we'd be without a warm bagel embrace during life's most sacred occasions, from \u003cem>bris\u003c/em> (circumcision) to shiva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just like the Jewish people, the Skokie Jewish delis have had their trials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From a 1980s salmonella scare and a 1990s union-busting case to a devastating fire in 2011, Kaufman's has had to reinvent itself against all odds. Rising from the ashes, Kaufman's now thrives as a robust sit-down delicatessen and bakery with delectable desserts and a huge menu of sandwiches, salads and Jewish comfort foods. Dworkin states proudly, \"We're in the business of memories. Our biggest competitors? Memories of your grandmother's gefilte fish.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simply put, Kaufman's and New York Bagel & Bialy thrive because \"everybody loves a good bagel,\" Scher says. \"Plain, Mishmosh, Onion, Poppy, Sesame, those are our best sellers. We have people who come in from really far away — Israel, France, Wisconsin — and when you walk in here, you know, you just feel at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surrounded by memories of our mother at our family home in Skokie, the presence of bagels — yes, even at Passover — was a blessing and a comfort. Bagels nourished us as we stumbled through grief's country. And so we grieved together, praising Skokie for our soul food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/128202/skokie-ill-has-great-bagels-and-an-even-better-story-behind-them","authors":["byline_bayareabites_128202"],"categories":["bayareabites_11028","bayareabites_2090","bayareabites_1763"],"tags":["bayareabites_10831","bayareabites_71"],"featImg":"bayareabites_128203","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_108827":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_108827","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"108827","score":null,"sort":[1461772817000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"bay-area-bites-guide-to-5-favorite-south-bay-bagel-shops","title":"Bay Area Bites Guide to 5 Favorite South Bay Bagel Shops","publishDate":1461772817,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Bay Area Bites | KQED Food","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>A hard shell breaking through to a chewy inside, complete with a thick layer of cream cheese is the ideal example for what a bagel should be.

Bread's a lot trickier.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As he busily engineers new processes to expand his output to meet demand and contemplates hiring some helpers, it's clear he has achieved his initial objective.

The line was painfully long and wet, leaving hopeful bagel eaters in the cold drizzle for up to two hours. Far before everyone reached the front, the bagels sold out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"1aV5N1A58UORJ4L0G9kE0VGMV6CtkPEz\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the event may or may not have been a success, it is clear that the denizens of San Francisco are jonesing for a good bagel or three. Yet there’s a far less annoying way to get them on your brunch table than braving a line: make them yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baking your own bagels isn’t particularly difficult, but it does require time. Plan on starting the dough the afternoon before you’d like to eat them. When I’m baking any kind of bread, I use a stand mixer to knead the dough. Not only is it easier, but it also allows me to better control the amount of flour going into the dough. That said, you could absolutely knead this dough by hand (see the recipe below for instructions).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/ingredients-1.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78835\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/ingredients-1.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade bagels have a short ingredient list: flour, yeast, salt, barley malt syrup, baking soda, and water.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients for the dough, using the gram setting on the scale. If you don’t own a scale, you should seriously consider buying one—it’ll make all of your baking projects easier and more accurate. I’ve scaled this recipe to use 1 pound or 455 grams of bread flour, which I measure directly into my mixer bowl. Bread flour has a higher protein check, so it will form more gluten and will therefore give the bagels serious chew. If you’re planning ahead, you can also look for high-gluten flour, which has an even higher protein content to use. It’s the preferred bagel flour for bakers like \u003ca href=\"http://peterreinhart.typepad.com/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Reinhart\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78836\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/remaining-autolyse.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78836\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/remaining-autolyse.jpg\" alt=\"Using a scale makes measuring a breeze.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To the flour, I add a little more than a cup (255 grams) of lukewarm water—shoot for around 90-95 degrees. For those who dabble in baker’s percentages, this will put the dough at around 56% hydration. Bagels get their dense structure from using a very stiff, low hydration dough like this one. (As a comparison, much lighter breads like sandwich breads are typically mixed at 75% to even 80% hydration.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For sweetness, I add barley malt syrup, but you can also use honey if that’s what you’ve got on hand. Finally, I add a small amount of yeast. Since the dough will have an extended cold proof in the fridge, it doesn’t need very much yeast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78837\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/autolyse.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78837\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/autolyse.jpg\" alt=\"After the initial mixing, the dough will be shaggy and sticky.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Once everything is measured, I place the bowl in the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and knead the dough on low speed until all of the flour is incorporated. Then I let this shaggy dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This period of rest is called the autolyse method and it allows the flour to hydrate and relax for easier kneading. I leave out the salt during the autolyse because it interferes with the flour’s hydration process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the autolyse, I like to add a generous amount of salt—2 1/2 teaspoons of coarse kosher—because it gives the dough greater depth of flavor. Once I’ve added it to the mixer, I raise the speed to medium and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Since this dough is very stiff, it has a tendency to rock the mixer around, so don’t walk away. I like to keep my hand on the top of the mixer as it is kneading. Hanging out also gives me the opportunity to scrape the sides of the mixer bowl from time to time to ensure that the dough is kneading evenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78838\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/kneaded-dough.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78838\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/kneaded-dough.jpg\" alt=\"The fully kneaded dough will be smooth and elastic.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll know that the dough is fully kneaded when it is stretchy, smooth, and no longer sticky. It should also pull away from the sides of the mixer bowl. Dump the fully kneaded dough onto a clean countertop and roll it into a ball. It shouldn’t stick to the counter. Transfer the dough ball to a large, lightly greased mixing bowl. Lightly grease the top of the dough and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on my schedule, I’ll either let the dough rise on the counter until doubled or stick it in the fridge to rise more slowly. This stage will take around one hour on the counter (depending on the ambient temperature in the room) or 3 to 4 hours in the fridge. You could even let the dough sit longer in the fridge if needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78839\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/risen-dough.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78839\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/risen-dough.jpg\" alt=\"After 4 hours in the fridge, the dough has just about doubled in size.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now the dough is ready to be shaped. To ensure that the bagels bake evenly, I like to use a scale to divide the dough into six equal pieces. Simply weigh the entire round of dough, and then divide the total weight by six to get the weight for each bagel. My dough clocked in at 729 grams, so I weighed out about 121.5 grams per bagel. Use a bench scraper to cut the dough into neat pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I pre-shape the bagels by rolling each piece into a ball. I let these balls rest for about 10 minutes, covered with a damp kitchen towel. Pre-shaping the dough will help the gluten relax and keep the bagels from totally snapping back when you try to shape them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78840\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/shaping-bagels.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78840\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/shaping-bagels.jpg\" alt=\"I prefer the poke method for shaping bagels.

Photos: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are a couple of ways to form bagels: the snake method and the (easier and more reliable) poke method. I go for easy and reliable. Simply use your thumb and index finger to poke a hole through the center of the dough ball. Then gently work all of your fingers into the hole to stretch it larger. Continue to work with the dough until you’ve stretched the hole to about 2 inches in diameter. It’ll shrink upon proofing and baking, so you want to make the hole extra big. Place the shaped bagels onto an oiled parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each bagel with a bit of olive oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once all of the bagels are shaped, they need to proof. I like to let this step happen slowly in the refrigerator. While not totally necessary, this slow, extended proof develops subtle fermented flavor in the dough. At lower temperatures, yeast produces less carbon dioxide and more of the positive flavor components of fermentation, like sugars and acids. Plus, the bubbles formed by the yeast are smaller at a lower temperature, leading to a more compact bagel. (No one wants a fluffy light bagel!) I give my bagels around 12 hours in the fridge. This usually works out to an overnight proof. It’s actually perfect timing—the bagels will be ready to eat for brunch the next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78841\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/fully-proofed.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78841\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/fully-proofed.jpg\" alt=\"The next day, the proofed bagels will have risen slightly.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll want to let the cold, proofed bagels warm up a bit before cooking. I take them out of the fridge about one hour before I plan to stick them in the oven. This is also a good time to turn on the oven. I bake my bagels at a flaming hot 500 degrees, and the oven needs extra time to get its temperature up that high and to remain consistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I prepare my boiling water bath. I bring a big pot of water to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Then in goes some more barley malt syrup (for color and flavor) and baking soda. The baking soda alkalizes the water, giving the boiled bagels a crisper, browner crust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78842\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/boiling.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78842\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/boiling.jpg\" alt=\"Boil the bagels in a mixture of barley malt syrup and baking soda for the best crust.

Boil the bagels for about one minute on each side. You’ll notice that the bagels will puff and then deflate a little in the water. That’s perfectly normal. The bagels will also take on a yellow-ish hue. Again, normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transfer the boiled bagels back to the parchment-lined baking sheet, letting any water drip off back into the pot. While they’re still wet, sprinkle with any bagel topping you’d like.

Place the tray in the super hot oven and let the bagels bake until they’re deep golden brown and have formed a crisp skin. It’ll take about 20 minutes. Rotate the tray after about 10 minutes to make sure everything is baking evenly. Check on the bagels after about 15 minutes to make sure the bottoms aren’t getting too dark. If that’s the case, stack another baking sheet under the first one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ll want to let the baked bagels cool completely before slicing in. I know that sounds like an exercise in exhausting impatience, but keep in mind the fact that the steam trapped inside the crisp exterior will continue to “bake” on the bagels, even after they’ve been pulled from the oven. They will be gummy while still hot. Don’t worry too much—cooling only takes around 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, dig in!

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>About a month ago, a few enterprising young San Francisco foodies orchestrated a bagel pop-up. \u003ca href=\"http://sf.eater.com/archives/2014/02/10/the_nyc_bagel_popup_drew_insane_twohour_lines.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The duo imported a bunch of bagels\u003c/a> from New York’s Russ & Daughters, serving them to the bagel-starved hipster masses in the Mission. The line was painfully long and wet, leaving hopeful bagel eaters in the cold drizzle for up to two hours. Far before everyone reached the front, the bagels sold out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the event may or may not have been a success, it is clear that the denizens of San Francisco are jonesing for a good bagel or three. Yet there’s a far less annoying way to get them on your brunch table than braving a line: make them yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baking your own bagels isn’t particularly difficult, but it does require time. Plan on starting the dough the afternoon before you’d like to eat them. When I’m baking any kind of bread, I use a stand mixer to knead the dough. Not only is it easier, but it also allows me to better control the amount of flour going into the dough. That said, you could absolutely knead this dough by hand (see the recipe below for instructions).\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78835\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/ingredients-1.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78835\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/ingredients-1.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade bagels have a short ingredient list: flour, yeast, salt, barley malt syrup, baking soda, and water.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>I use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients for the dough, using the gram setting on the scale. If you don’t own a scale, you should seriously consider buying one—it’ll make all of your baking projects easier and more accurate. I’ve scaled this recipe to use 1 pound or 455 grams of bread flour, which I measure directly into my mixer bowl. Bread flour has a higher protein check, so it will form more gluten and will therefore give the bagels serious chew. If you’re planning ahead, you can also look for high-gluten flour, which has an even higher protein content to use. It’s the preferred bagel flour for bakers like \u003ca href=\"http://peterreinhart.typepad.com/about.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter Reinhart\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78836\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/remaining-autolyse.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78836\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/remaining-autolyse.jpg\" alt=\"Using a scale makes measuring a breeze.

For those who dabble in baker’s percentages, this will put the dough at around 56% hydration. Bagels get their dense structure from using a very stiff, low hydration dough like this one. (As a comparison, much lighter breads like sandwich breads are typically mixed at 75% to even 80% hydration.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For sweetness, I add barley malt syrup, but you can also use honey if that’s what you’ve got on hand.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Once everything is measured, I place the bowl in the stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and knead the dough on low speed until all of the flour is incorporated. Then I let this shaggy dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This period of rest is called the autolyse method and it allows the flour to hydrate and relax for easier kneading. I leave out the salt during the autolyse because it interferes with the flour’s hydration process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the autolyse, I like to add a generous amount of salt—2 1/2 teaspoons of coarse kosher—because it gives the dough greater depth of flavor. Once I’ve added it to the mixer, I raise the speed to medium and knead the dough for about 10 minutes. Since this dough is very stiff, it has a tendency to rock the mixer around, so don’t walk away. I like to keep my hand on the top of the mixer as it is kneading. Hanging out also gives me the opportunity to scrape the sides of the mixer bowl from time to time to ensure that the dough is kneading evenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78838\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/kneaded-dough.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78838\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/kneaded-dough.jpg\" alt=\"The fully kneaded dough will be smooth and elastic.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll know that the dough is fully kneaded when it is stretchy, smooth, and no longer sticky. It should also pull away from the sides of the mixer bowl. Dump the fully kneaded dough onto a clean countertop and roll it into a ball. It shouldn’t stick to the counter. Transfer the dough ball to a large, lightly greased mixing bowl. Lightly grease the top of the dough and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Depending on my schedule, I’ll either let the dough rise on the counter until doubled or stick it in the fridge to rise more slowly. This stage will take around one hour on the counter (depending on the ambient temperature in the room) or 3 to 4 hours in the fridge. You could even let the dough sit longer in the fridge if needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78839\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/risen-dough.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78839\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/risen-dough.jpg\" alt=\"After 4 hours in the fridge, the dough has just about doubled in size.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now the dough is ready to be shaped. To ensure that the bagels bake evenly, I like to use a scale to divide the dough into six equal pieces. Simply weigh the entire round of dough, and then divide the total weight by six to get the weight for each bagel. My dough clocked in at 729 grams, so I weighed out about 121.5 grams per bagel. Use a bench scraper to cut the dough into neat pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I pre-shape the bagels by rolling each piece into a ball. I let these balls rest for about 10 minutes, covered with a damp kitchen towel. Pre-shaping the dough will help the gluten relax and keep the bagels from totally snapping back when you try to shape them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78840\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/shaping-bagels.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78840\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/shaping-bagels.jpg\" alt=\"I prefer the poke method for shaping bagels.

Photos: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are a couple of ways to form bagels: the snake method and the (easier and more reliable) poke method. I go for easy and reliable. Simply use your thumb and index finger to poke a hole through the center of the dough ball. Then gently work all of your fingers into the hole to stretch it larger. Continue to work with the dough until you’ve stretched the hole to about 2 inches in diameter. It’ll shrink upon proofing and baking, so you want to make the hole extra big. Place the shaped bagels onto an oiled parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each bagel with a bit of olive oil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once all of the bagels are shaped, they need to proof. I like to let this step happen slowly in the refrigerator. While not totally necessary, this slow, extended proof develops subtle fermented flavor in the dough. At lower temperatures, yeast produces less carbon dioxide and more of the positive flavor components of fermentation, like sugars and acids. Plus, the bubbles formed by the yeast are smaller at a lower temperature, leading to a more compact bagel. (No one wants a fluffy light bagel!) I give my bagels around 12 hours in the fridge. This usually works out to an overnight proof. It’s actually perfect timing—the bagels will be ready to eat for brunch the next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78841\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/fully-proofed.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78841\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/fully-proofed.jpg\" alt=\"The next day, the proofed bagels will have risen slightly.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You’ll want to let the cold, proofed bagels warm up a bit before cooking. I take them out of the fridge about one hour before I plan to stick them in the oven. This is also a good time to turn on the oven. I bake my bagels at a flaming hot 500 degrees, and the oven needs extra time to get its temperature up that high and to remain consistent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I prepare my boiling water bath. I bring a big pot of water to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Then in goes some more barley malt syrup (for color and flavor) and baking soda. The baking soda alkalizes the water, giving the boiled bagels a crisper, browner crust.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78842\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/boiling.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78842\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/boiling.jpg\" alt=\"Boil the bagels in a mixture of barley malt syrup and baking soda for the best crust.

Boil the bagels for about one minute on each side. You’ll notice that the bagels will puff and then deflate a little in the water. That’s perfectly normal. The bagels will also take on a yellow-ish hue. Again, normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Transfer the boiled bagels back to the parchment-lined baking sheet, letting any water drip off back into the pot. While they’re still wet, sprinkle with any bagel topping you’d like.

Place the tray in the super hot oven and let the bagels bake until they’re deep golden brown and have formed a crisp skin. It’ll take about 20 minutes. Rotate the tray after about 10 minutes to make sure everything is baking evenly. Check on the bagels after about 15 minutes to make sure the bottoms aren’t getting too dark. If that’s the case, stack another baking sheet under the first one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You’ll want to let the baked bagels cool completely before slicing in. I know that sounds like an exercise in exhausting impatience, but keep in mind the fact that the steam trapped inside the crisp exterior will continue to “bake” on the bagels, even after they’ve been pulled from the oven. They will be gummy while still hot. Don’t worry too much—cooling only takes around 20 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, dig in! The bagels are best that morning; so don’t hesitate to indulge in a couple, or three, or four.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_78844\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/final-bagels-2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-78844\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/03/final-bagels-2.jpg\" alt=\"DIY sesame bagels.

Let's start with the smell. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Push open the door at Russ & Daughters and the first thing to hit you is the store's unique aroma. It's a combination of smokiness from whitefish, salmon, sturgeon,and sable; the brininess of herrings and pickles; the yeastiness of freshly baked bagels and bialys, and the sweetness of rugelach, babka, chocolates, and halvah.

It arose out of kosher dietary laws, which forbid the mixing of milk and meat at the same meal or, indeed, in the same shop. So, when it came to prepared foods, the delicatessen, or deli, sold pastrami, corned beef, tongue, salami, chopped liver, chicken soup, and more, while the \"appetizing\" store stocked smoked and cured fish in all its forms, from pickled \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Herring-on-menus-of-Bay-Area-restaurants-4283165.php\"> herring\u003c/a> to smoked salmon, along with the dairy to serve with it: cheese and cream cheese, plus pickles, sauerkraut, and often bagels, bialys, candies, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/10/26/grandmas-rugelach\">rugelach\u003c/a>, chocolates, and dried fruit, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Tabletop600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Tabletop600.jpg\" alt=\"A Typical Appetizing Spread, Ready for a Family Celebration.

But it also brings to life the lost Jewish world of the Lower East Side. My great-grandfather, also born in Poland, was a baker in the neighborhood; my grandmother, who came here as a child in the early 1900s, had stories of delivering hot rolls in a horse-drawn cart through the pushcarts crowding the tenement-lined streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Joel Russ's three daughters Anne, Hattie, and Ida would work in the family business went without saying. As Russ Federman tells it, the family motto became \u003cem>\"Vi nempt men parnosa?\"\u003c/em> a Yiddish phrase he translates as \"From where do we take our living?\" The family's living came from the shop, and so the family, all of it, worked hard to make the shop successful. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Joel Russ also recognized that his three smiling, pretty daughters were a draw that lured customers as much as a good price on schmaltz herring, and he turned the name of the business into Russ & Daughters. Son-in-laws were set up behind the counter, too, but the third generation, including Mark, weren't supposed to be shopkeepers. For them, the goal was college and a profession--a doctor, a lawyer, not a herring-seller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58234\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Federman600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Federman600.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Russ Federman.

After years of being pressed into work at the shop during every school vacation and holiday, he came back to the shop in 1978 to learn the business and take some of the pressure off his aging parents. As he writes, \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"My plan was to help them run the store part-time and practice law part-time. What was I smoking?

Let's start with the smell. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Push open the door at Russ & Daughters and the first thing to hit you is the store's unique aroma. It's a combination of smokiness from whitefish, salmon, sturgeon,and sable; the brininess of herrings and pickles; the yeastiness of freshly baked bagels and bialys, and the sweetness of rugelach, babka, chocolates, and halvah. How I wish I could bottle that singular scent--smoky, briny, yeasty and sweet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Russ Federman's description above shows, the \"appetizing\" store is a particularly Jewish-American category of business, specializing in smoked fish and dairy products. It arose out of kosher dietary laws, which forbid the mixing of milk and meat at the same meal or, indeed, in the same shop. So, when it came to prepared foods, the delicatessen, or deli, sold pastrami, corned beef, tongue, salami, chopped liver, chicken soup, and more, while the \"appetizing\" store stocked smoked and cured fish in all its forms, from pickled \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Herring-on-menus-of-Bay-Area-restaurants-4283165.php\"> herring\u003c/a> to smoked salmon, along with the dairy to serve with it: cheese and cream cheese, plus pickles, sauerkraut, and often bagels, bialys, candies, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/10/26/grandmas-rugelach\">rugelach\u003c/a>, chocolates, and dried fruit, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Tabletop600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Tabletop600.jpg\" alt=\"A Typical Appetizing Spread, Ready for a Family Celebration.

But it also brings to life the lost Jewish world of the Lower East Side. My great-grandfather, also born in Poland, was a baker in the neighborhood; my grandmother, who came here as a child in the early 1900s, had stories of delivering hot rolls in a horse-drawn cart through the pushcarts crowding the tenement-lined streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Joel Russ's three daughters Anne, Hattie, and Ida would work in the family business went without saying. As Russ Federman tells it, the family motto became \u003cem>\"Vi nempt men parnosa?\"\u003c/em> a Yiddish phrase he translates as \"From where do we take our living?\" The family's living came from the shop, and so the family, all of it, worked hard to make the shop successful. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Joel Russ also recognized that his three smiling, pretty daughters were a draw that lured customers as much as a good price on schmaltz herring, and he turned the name of the business into Russ & Daughters. Son-in-laws were set up behind the counter, too, but the third generation, including Mark, weren't supposed to be shopkeepers. For them, the goal was college and a profession--a doctor, a lawyer, not a herring-seller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58234\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Federman600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Federman600.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Russ Federman.

After years of being pressed into work at the shop during every school vacation and holiday, he came back to the shop in 1978 to learn the business and take some of the pressure off his aging parents. As he writes, \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"My plan was to help them run the store part-time and practice law part-time. What was I smoking?

Any bagel is delicious fresh out of the oven, and these don't disappoint. They're nicely sized, not puffed-up behemoths. The crust is a slim, shiny coating instead of a sink-your-teeth-in-and-pull that I remember as a highlight of the bagels of my New York/New York childhood, but the crumb has just the right balance of density and loft. And the whole-wheat bagels, both sesame and \"everything\" (fennel, caraway, poppy, and sesame seeds, plus salt, pepper, and onion), manage to taste both healthy and bagel-y, with a full whole-grain taste that nonetheless still pushes the right bagel button, even if the green, licorice-y flavor of fennel isn't exactly part of the typical salty-savory everything-bagel experience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52063\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/beautys-owners1000a1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/beautys-owners1000a1.jpg\" alt=\"Owners of Beauty's Bagels - Blake Joffe and Amy Remsen\" title=\"Owners of Beauty's Bagels - Blake Joffe and Amy Remsen\" width=\"560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52063\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Owners of Beauty's Bagels - Blake Joffe and Amy Remsen\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"It's a hybrid bagel,\" says Joffe.\"Not exactly Montreal, not exactly New York.\" Having moved to Oakland from Philadelphia, Joffe and his co-owner and partner Amy Remsen also plan to offer some tastes of Pennsylvania on their menu, like scrapple and sticky buns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that local tomatoes are out of season, they're off the menu, which is a sad loss for the otherwise tasty lox sandwich, thick slices of Scottish-salmon lox from \u003ca href=\"http://water2table.com/\">Water 2 Table\u003c/a>, swathed over pleasantly tangy Sierra Nevada cream cheese (no relation to the beer), with red onions and plenty of capers.

While Joffe and Remsen aren't paying themselves yet, the business is breaking even now, and supporting 10 employees. \"That's one of the things I'm most proud of,\" says Remsen, of the jobs her business has created in the neighborhood. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they first started baking, they got sage advice from Wise Sons' Evan Bloom, himself a self-taught baker of rye and challah. It's bread, and it will break your heart, he told them: different every day, subject to deep, unpredictable whims, subtle shifts in temperature, moisture, even weather changing a perfect batch into a temper tantrum of intractable dough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting the bagels consistent, learning to work with the new, larger-scale equipment needed to keep up with the shop's demand: it's been a steep learning curve, but now, says Joffe, the bagels are almost where he wants them to be, most days. They've added bialys, not very many yet, so they sell out fast whenever they appear. There are plans for an expanded breakfast and lunch menu, not just bagels. Joffe imagines a salad of green apples, Brie, and onions charred in schmaltz, topped with roasted chicken skin. Already, a fried chicken-and-slaw sandwich, a bagel version of the popular lunchtime offering up the street at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakesalebetty.com/\">Bakesale Betty\u003c/a>'s, is a hit, as is the matzoh-ball soup. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaving Beauty's, drop south towards the waterfront, and if it's Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you can swing by the bare-bones retail space for \u003ca href=\"http://abagelcompany.com/\">Authentic Bagel Company\u003c/a> in Jack London Square, run by the Providence, Rhode Island-born brothers Jason and Mark Scott. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-exterior1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-exterior1000.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagel exterior\" title=\"Authentic Bagel exterior\" width=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52100\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-interior1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-interior1000.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagel interior\" title=\"Authentic Bagel interior\" width=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52101\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52025\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-owners700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-owners700.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagel owners - Jason and Mark Scott\" title=\"Authentic Bagel owners - Jason and Mark Scott\" width=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52025\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Authentic Bagel owners - Jason and Mark Scott\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With bare, scuffed walls, a chest-high stack of flour bags in the window and a clutter of mixers and ovens in the back, it's easy to see that the room is mostly the brothers' production kitchen, hastily made over into a retail space three days a week.

Bigger and a little chewier than Beauty's, they have a craggy, handmade look to them, no small feat when the bakery's turning out anywhere from 300 to 1000 bagels a day. \"We wanted to marry a New York bagel with a San Francisco sourdough,\" says Mark, who, like his brother, has a culinary degree from \u003ca href=\"http://www.jwu.edu\">Johnson and Wales.\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52027\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Authentic1000b.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Authentic1000b.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagels\" title=\"Authentic Bagels\" width=\"560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52027\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Authentic Bagels\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From Italian restaurants in Providence, they moved to managing and cooking in restaurants in Berkeley and Portland, then to Monaghan's on the Hill in the Oakland Hills.

(The flip is really just for show, the bagel-baker's version of the Pike Place Market salmon toss.\"Kids love it,\" he deadpans.) Any bagel is delicious fresh out of the oven, and these don't disappoint. They're nicely sized, not puffed-up behemoths. The crust is a slim, shiny coating instead of a sink-your-teeth-in-and-pull that I remember as a highlight of the bagels of my New York/New York childhood, but the crumb has just the right balance of density and loft. And the whole-wheat bagels, both sesame and \"everything\" (fennel, caraway, poppy, and sesame seeds, plus salt, pepper, and onion), manage to taste both healthy and bagel-y, with a full whole-grain taste that nonetheless still pushes the right bagel button, even if the green, licorice-y flavor of fennel isn't exactly part of the typical salty-savory everything-bagel experience. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52063\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/beautys-owners1000a1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/beautys-owners1000a1.jpg\" alt=\"Owners of Beauty's Bagels - Blake Joffe and Amy Remsen\" title=\"Owners of Beauty's Bagels - Blake Joffe and Amy Remsen\" width=\"560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52063\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Owners of Beauty's Bagels - Blake Joffe and Amy Remsen\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"It's a hybrid bagel,\" says Joffe.\"Not exactly Montreal, not exactly New York.\" Having moved to Oakland from Philadelphia, Joffe and his co-owner and partner Amy Remsen also plan to offer some tastes of Pennsylvania on their menu, like scrapple and sticky buns. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that local tomatoes are out of season, they're off the menu, which is a sad loss for the otherwise tasty lox sandwich, thick slices of Scottish-salmon lox from \u003ca href=\"http://water2table.com/\">Water 2 Table\u003c/a>, swathed over pleasantly tangy Sierra Nevada cream cheese (no relation to the beer), with red onions and plenty of capers. The two tiny half-moon pickle slices alongside seem stingy until I ask Remsen and Joffe, who admit that many customers leave them on the plate.

While Joffe and Remsen aren't paying themselves yet, the business is breaking even now, and supporting 10 employees. \"That's one of the things I'm most proud of,\" says Remsen, of the jobs her business has created in the neighborhood. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When they first started baking, they got sage advice from Wise Sons' Evan Bloom, himself a self-taught baker of rye and challah. It's bread, and it will break your heart, he told them: different every day, subject to deep, unpredictable whims, subtle shifts in temperature, moisture, even weather changing a perfect batch into a temper tantrum of intractable dough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting the bagels consistent, learning to work with the new, larger-scale equipment needed to keep up with the shop's demand: it's been a steep learning curve, but now, says Joffe, the bagels are almost where he wants them to be, most days. They've added bialys, not very many yet, so they sell out fast whenever they appear. There are plans for an expanded breakfast and lunch menu, not just bagels. Joffe imagines a salad of green apples, Brie, and onions charred in schmaltz, topped with roasted chicken skin. Already, a fried chicken-and-slaw sandwich, a bagel version of the popular lunchtime offering up the street at \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakesalebetty.com/\">Bakesale Betty\u003c/a>'s, is a hit, as is the matzoh-ball soup. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaving Beauty's, drop south towards the waterfront, and if it's Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you can swing by the bare-bones retail space for \u003ca href=\"http://abagelcompany.com/\">Authentic Bagel Company\u003c/a> in Jack London Square, run by the Providence, Rhode Island-born brothers Jason and Mark Scott. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-exterior1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-exterior1000.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagel exterior\" title=\"Authentic Bagel exterior\" width=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52100\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-interior1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagel-interior1000.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagel interior\" title=\"Authentic Bagel interior\" width=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52101\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52025\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-owners700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-owners700.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagel owners - Jason and Mark Scott\" title=\"Authentic Bagel owners - Jason and Mark Scott\" width=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52025\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Authentic Bagel owners - Jason and Mark Scott\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>With bare, scuffed walls, a chest-high stack of flour bags in the window and a clutter of mixers and ovens in the back, it's easy to see that the room is mostly the brothers' production kitchen, hastily made over into a retail space three days a week. As a two-man operation with a heap of wholesale accounts, ABC bakes all its bagels in one early-morning shift. By 4am, bagels are coming out of the oven, ready to be delivered to 15 or 20 cafes and businesses around the East Bay. Three days a week, the rest go onto the trays at the retail shop. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagels-owner1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/authentic-bagels-owner1000.jpg\" alt=\"Jason Scott co-owner of Authentic Bagel\" title=\"Jason Scott co-owner of Authentic Bagel\" width=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52037\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/mark-scott-authentic-bagels1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/mark-scott-authentic-bagels1000.jpg\" alt=\"Mark Scott co-owner of Authentic Bagel\" title=\"Mark Scott co-owner of Authentic Bagel\" width=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52106\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, no hot bagels here. But the bagels are made to be a little more durable, using a slow-risen sourdough base that's held for 24 hours to develop flavor and texture, then boiled and baked. Bigger and a little chewier than Beauty's, they have a craggy, handmade look to them, no small feat when the bakery's turning out anywhere from 300 to 1000 bagels a day. \"We wanted to marry a New York bagel with a San Francisco sourdough,\" says Mark, who, like his brother, has a culinary degree from \u003ca href=\"http://www.jwu.edu\">Johnson and Wales.\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_52027\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 560px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Authentic1000b.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/11/Authentic1000b.jpg\" alt=\"Authentic Bagels\" title=\"Authentic Bagels\" width=\"560\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52027\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Authentic Bagels\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From Italian restaurants in Providence, they moved to managing and cooking in restaurants in Berkeley and Portland, then to Monaghan's on the Hill in the Oakland Hills.

For the Sunday-afternoon football crowd, more bagel sandwiches, until customers started asking where they got their bagels, and could they buy a dozen to take home? They starting using the Monaghan's kitchen to bake during their off hours, then, last November, they left the restaurant and started their own bagel business, first baking in a commercial kitchen in Emeryville, now in what was once a hot-dog shop in Jack London Square.
