Notes

Note: if you don't have everything but the bagel seasoning, sub with sesame seeds, or black sesame seeds.
Storage: 
- For short-term storage, refrigerate the bagels in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Warm them in the toaster or oven before serving.
- For longer storage, freeze leftover bagels in a sealed bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature or toast straight from frozen for the best texture.
