Garlic Bagel

Our homemade garlic bagel is a flavorful twist on the classic, perfect for garlic lovers. We begin by mixing wheat flour with water and a touch of cane sugar to create a soft dough. A pinch of Bali sea salt adds just the right balance of flavor, while extra virgin olive oil provides a subtle richness. After the dough rises, it’s shaped into a traditional round bagel, then brushed with an egg wash for a beautiful golden finish.

What makes our garlic bagel truly special is the generous addition of fresh garlic. It’s folded right into the dough, infusing each bite with aromatic, savory goodness. When baked, the garlic softens and caramelizes slightly, creating a warm, aromatic scent that fills your kitchen. Once the bagel is done, you get a crispy golden crust with a soft, chewy interior, complemented by the irresistible savory flavor of garlic in every bite. This bagel is perfect on its own or as a base for a savory sandwich.

For a delicious sandwich, toast your garlic bagel and load it with your favorite fillings. Try pairing it with a slice of turkey, a spread of cream cheese, and some fresh greens for a balanced and satisfying meal. For a vegetarian option, top it with our hummus, fresh cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of dill for a refreshing flavor combination. Our garlic bagel is a versatile and tasty choice for any occasion, from breakfast to lunch, and everything in between.
