Notes

Tips For Perfect Results
  1. Try to thaw your frozen bagels at room temperature overnight if you are looking for a grab-and-go breakfast the next day.
  2. Don't drench your bagel in water! A few drops will do the trick and get your bagel ready for the oven.
  3. If your bagel is green or fuzzy, it is time to throw it away. Mold can develop on the surface or beyond the surface of the bagel, so it is best to keep an eye out for those green monsters!
