I have missed the Bialys since we left NY. The last time I was there visiting I brought 3 dozen in my luggage. I think I would much prefer them with the carmelized onions. Thank you for the recipe.
Hi! I’m not sure about the sourdough starter - but for non-dairy (parve) butter substitute - use Parkay Margarine - the one labeled (U) parve. No dairy and tastes great!
Go find the Food Wishes recipe. So easy, bialys have no marg, and no sugar. This was a lesson in frustration. Chef John's isn't the exact way the NYC Jews make bialys in the bakery, but it's much closer and the end result is easy peasy and amazing. I'm on my second batch of low yeast, overnight, no knead bialys.
Rochel, Out of all the bialys videos I have seen, I loved your video the most. My frustration is and continues to be, that my bialys puff up in middle...yours have that signature flat center...what try am I doing incorrectly? I have followed your video and keep watching it to see if anything was missed.. ( I am not a novice baker)!!! I would so appreciate your expert feedback... Thank you so much....
Look from minute 6:31, when you give it the shape lowers the middle at this time you must work fast so that the dough does not continue to rise, and immediately put in the oven, oven must be preheated to the correct temperature, And another thing to press hard in the middle of the dough while you give it the shape. let me know if it works for you
I tried it again, and I finally was successful in keeping the center from puffing up and obscuring the filling! I think that what made it work this time was allowing the dough balls to rest for a longer period of time before shaping ( 2 hours instead of 25 minutes ) This relaxed the gluten more and enabled the centers to remain wide. So, thank you so much for responding and inspiring me to continue til successful with my bialys.
@@semajrn1 Next week I'm going to publish another recipe of bialys, with different fillings and different dough, you can try it and tell me which one you like
Shalom from Israel💙🇮🇱!I love bialys, used to buy them in Brooklyn. Is the origin of bialy, from the city of Bialistok, eastern euorpe, where there was a big population of Jews , prior to ww2?

How would I go about making them with a sourdough starter and without butter/margarine/dairy?

What is fresh yeast? May I use packaged yeast?
I think it means "fresh" as opposed to "stale/old".
