How people cook with it
These bagels are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from a simple breakfast to a more elaborate sandwich base.
- Toasted with cream cheese
- As a sandwich base
- With butter and jam
- With smoked salmon
To best enjoy Hannaford Works Bagels, they are often sliced in half horizontally and then toasted. Toasting brings out their chewy texture and can make the exterior slightly crisp. They can be served warm with a variety of toppings such as butter, cream cheese, jam, or peanut butter. For a more substantial meal, they serve as an excellent base for sandwiches, holding fillings like deli meats, cheese, or eggs. They can also be enjoyed plain, straight from the package, though toasting is generally preferred.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular bread, bagels have a denser, chewier texture due to the boiling step before baking. This process also contributes to a slightly glossier crust. While both are baked goods, the unique preparation method sets bagels apart in terms of mouthfeel and structure.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bagels fresh, store them in an airtight container or a resealable bag at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can make them stale more quickly. For longer storage, they can be frozen, and then thawed or toasted directly from frozen.
