Bagels. They can be used in so many different ways, and are so great as an alternative to a normal roll or even plain bread. I think that they’re underrated, and it’s time we used Bagels more often. They don’t have to just be reserved as a way for eating smoked salmon and cream cheese. You can use them in so many different ways, and it’s time to get creative.
As our regular readers will probably know, over at The Rose & Bean, we love to bake, and that includes baking our own breads. So we decided it was only fitting to make our own bagels.
These are seriously yum. Super soft, packed with loads of flavour, and topped with poppyseeds, you’ll wonder why you’ve not made your own sooner. When you make these, you’ll fall back in love with bagels and will be finding loads of delicious ways to use them. From having them toasted with some vegan butter, to piling high with avocado, they’re a great accompaniment for breakfast, lunch or even dinner.
You don’t have to top with poppy seeds of course, but we recommend that you do, as they give an extra crunch and add a new texture to the already amazing tasting bagels.
Give them a go and let us know how you got on!
