HINTS & TIPS

For a sweater bagel add some fresh blueberries and 30gm more sugar to the mix
The use of steam in this recipe replaces the traditional method of briefly boiling the bagel in sugared water
For the traditional New York bagel add cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, spanish onion and lettuce
The reason we have baked the bagels without baking paper on the tray is so they don’t pool water whilst steaming.
