Assistant Cook
Hi,
We're at 8,200 ft above sea level and when I get up to bake it is in the fifties. My bagels are not rising after I form them (due to the cold?).
I have been putting an electric radiator under my glass table top to get them to rise. It has helped but I'm getting signs of over proofing. Next attempt (tomorrow) will be to warm an oven, turn it off and put them in on a baking sheet. Others will stay on the glass but I will cover with a wet towel to protect the tops of the bagels.
I have been using the warmed oven technique when I leave the dough to rise initially.
