Split warm bagels and spread with cream cheese for a classic. Add sliced tomato and turkey for an easy kid-friendly sandwich.
Serve with scrambled eggs and fruit for a weekend brunch. For lunch, top with avocado and smoked salmon or make mini pizzas with marinara and cheese.
These bagels also freeze well. Toast straight from the freezer for a quick school-run breakfast.
How to Store
Let bagels cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container or a zip-top bag to keep them soft.
Store at room temperature for up to two days. Freeze for up to one month. To reheat, slice and toast, or warm in a preheated 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes.
Label frozen bagels with the date to keep track. Thaw on the counter for 20 minutes, then toast or warm.
Tips and Variations
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for a richer crumb, or try low-fat for fewer calories. If dough feels sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it handles easily.
Top with everything bagel seasoning, sesame seeds, or coarse salt. For a sweeter option, brush with a little milk and sprinkle cinnamon sugar before baking.
Want a heartier version? Mix in a handful of shredded cheese or chopped cooked bacon before shaping. For a richer twist you might also enjoy Creamy Bacon Cheddar Bagels, which pair well with savory breakfasts.
Shape the bagels into classic rings or make small rolls for kids. These small swaps keep the method quick but change the flavor.
FAQs
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour? A: Yes, but add 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt per cup of regular flour to mimic self-rising flour.
Q: Can I skip the egg wash? A: Yes. The egg wash gives a shiny, golden top, but plain milk or oil will work too.
Q: How do I make more than four bagels? A: Double the recipe and divide the dough into more pieces. Baking time stays similar; watch the color and test for doneness.
