Blacksburg Bagels

Not for the shop, but they were setup at the farmers market so picked up a half dozen bagels and a loaf of spelt bread. TLDR: bagels were awesome, the bread was a big disappointment. All of the bagels were good, though the ginger and date was such a mild flavor it was overwhelmed by cream cheese. The parm+peppercorn was awesome, and the jalapeno cheddar had a great jalapeno flavor. Really can't say enough good things about these -- great texture and chew though maybe a little heavy on the cornmeal on the bottom for some. Didn't try the multigrain which can be tricky. The bread was just a real let-down, crumbling in your hands. Spelt is an older grain whose gluten can be tricky to work with, but this was so dry and crumbly when you'd try to pull out a slice from the bag it'd split in half. About 1/3 of the loaf seemed to just split off the top like the a seam hadn't taken when they rolled/shaped it for baking.
