I "do" a daily speculative poolish/biga every evening - only takes 20 seconds - which basically goes into whatever I then fancy whether it's a batch of pizza dough - I leave them developing gently in the fridge in little tubs so that when a pizza is called for once the oven is warmed up the fresh pizza is pretty much always instantly on call. Or the poolish/biga is used in bread, or flat bread or as today some breakfast bagels. The pizza oven is really good with bagels. I used a mix of 20% rye flour and bought the gluten up to around 17% and hydration at 58% so stiff and close textured and very very chewy. Nice crunchy bottoms from the stone hearth.
Today, wifey abandoned me for the lights of London, so it's just me with my bagels at the moment. The story of today's lovely misshapen individual personality rustic bagels and later the pizza dough.
This is the tubs of maturing pizza dough ready for the fridge ....

I had the most delightful lunch today.
A can of mushy peas blitzed up to make a soup,spiced up with plenty of ground black pepper,tarragon,a dash of rapeseed oil and oyster sauce and two slices of rye toast.
It was superb and costs less than €1.
I almost wish I was poor again to prove it is possible to eat well on the cheap.

I reckon that the fishcakes with parsley sauce and peas (above) cost around 1.50. I guess the six mega-bagels cost around 60p or so ie 10p each and one is enough for supper!
