LEV BAKERY Sesame Bagels are best enjoyed fresh. They can be sliced in half horizontally and toasted to your desired crispness. For a classic breakfast, spread with cream cheese, butter, or jam. They also make an excellent foundation for savory sandwiches, holding up well to ingredients like eggs, bacon, deli meats, and cheese. For a heartier meal, consider warming them slightly before serving with a side of soup or stew. Their chewy texture provides a good contrast to softer ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other breads, bagels have a unique boiled-then-baked preparation that results in a denser, chewier crumb and a slightly tougher crust. The abundant sesame seeds offer a distinct nutty flavor and aroma that is not found on plain bagels or those with different toppings.
Who it is for
Home cooks and busy individuals looking for a satisfying and convenient bread option will find these bagels useful.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any uneaten bagels in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, they can be frozen, individually wrapped, for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature or reheat gently.
