Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for homemade bagel mix

Can I adjust the salt in this mix?

How do I store homemade everything bagel mix?

Store your mix in an airtight container or a glass jar at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to six months.

What ingredients are typically in an everything bagel mix?

A traditional blend combines sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and kosher salt (or coarse sea salt), but you can adjust or customize as you wish.

Can I use this seasoning on things other than bagels?

Yes, this versatile mix is delicious sprinkled on avocado toast, roasted vegetables, eggs, homemade bread, or grilled chicken.

How do I make the mix stick to bagels without boiling them?
