🥯 SOURDOUGH DISCARD BAGELS — PART 2
Hot girl bagels are back and it’s time to get them dressed up and BAKEDDDDDD. 💅✨
After boiling your bagels:
🥚 Optional: Brush with egg wash — 1 egg + a splash of water. This helps your toppings stick and gives the bagels that gorgeous shiny finish.
🧂 Dress them up with your desired seasonings—or leave ’em naked! We went with Everything seasoning + Cyprus salt because we SEASON our bagels around here.
🔥 Bake at 425°F for 18–22 minutes, or until beautifully golden brown.
Baking more than one pan? I swap the trays between oven racks halfway through baking to help everything bake evenly!
Then toast, add an absolutely reasonable amount of strawberry cream cheese, and ENJOYYYY. 😘🥯
Part 1 has the full dough recipe + shaping + hot girl bagel bath!
