Food Crafts

One of the latest food trends is the rainbow bagel. They look magical and I’m sure they taste delicious. When I was shopping for groceries this week I decided that I was going to make my own rainbow bagels. I found a recipe online that was really easy. The recipe was more like rainbow biscuits but I thought I could handle it.

I started out by splitting up the biscuits into four equal parts. Once they were fully mixed I added colors to each one. I couldn’t quite get the food coloring to cover all of the dough so it was more like marble. I then rolled out the dough and stacked all the colors up. I cut what seemed to be small pieces and formed my own bagels. They got a little bit bigger than I expected so I should have probably made them half the size.

The rainbow bagels were less rainbow bagel and more biscuits with personality but I was still proud of them.

Once they were cooled down, I got out my cream cheese and tried one. My suspicions were confirmed and the bagel was way to big. Even though I hadn’t eaten dinner, I just could not finish the bagel. The cream cheese was also a little too sweet so that might have made and impact too.

I had a long day at work and this simple baking experiment was just what I needed to relax and clear my mind. Not to mention, I also had a pretty yummy dinner! Let me know what you think of my bagel/biscuit experience and any advice you have for my next attempt.
