This Week in Bagels

I finally learned what makes pumpernickel what it is as opposed to just being rye.  Pumpernickel uses the entire grain, much like whole wheat.  There is also molasses added to darken it, but that's a side thing.  I'll play with rye and pumpernickel bagels later.  

This week I'm hoping to do a little side project just for fun.  I'll make an extra couple bagels and trade them around the market for ingredients to make bagel bruschetta.  Which means I'll need tomatoes and basil at the very least, probably garlic.
