How do I store leftover bagels?

After making your homemade bagels, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you have additional bagels you'd like to keep for longer, consider freezing them. Just slice them before freezing so you can toast them directly from the freezer. They should last for 2–3 months in the freezer.

Can I customize the toppings?

Absolutely! You can personalize your bagels with any choice of toppings. Popular options include sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning. You might also try incorporating herbs into the dough for added flavor or sprinkling cheese on top before baking.

What is the best way to reheat bagels?

The best method to reheat bagels is to cut them in half and toast them until they are warm and crispy. If you prefer a softer bagel, wrap it in a damp paper towel and microwave it for 10-15 seconds. Alternatively, you can gently warm them in the oven for a few minutes.

How do I know when the bagels are done baking?

Your bagels are done baking when they turn a golden brown color and have a slightly firm outer shell. You can tap the bottom of the bagel to hear a hollow sound, which is also a good indication that they are baked through. You may want to keep a close eye on your bagels to reach the desired color.

Can I make bagels ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the dough in advance and shape the bagels. Store them in the fridge overnight, then bake them in the morning for fresh bagels without the hassle. You also have the option to fully bake them ahead of time and reheat for breakfast.
