Notes

Storage Tips

Most likely you will eat these bagel donuts all in one sitting, but if needed store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for a day or two at room temperature.

Chef’s Notes

Tip: There are 2¼ teaspoons in each yeast packet. 
Everything bagel seasoning can be found at most stores these days but is most commonly found on Amazon.com.
For a fun twist on bagels and lox, serve with smoked salmon and your favorite accompaniments. Avocado? Red onion? A slice of green apple? You name it! 
For a fun project, make your own everything bagel seasoning by combining sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic flakes, and onion flakes.
