Hi All,

Salted bagels are one of my favorite snacks. Except that salted bagels are
seldom available at the bagel shop near me. My plan is to purchase white
bagel salt and add the salt to the top of the plain bagels. I like to warm
the bagels just before eating them. How do I "attach" the salt to the top
of the bagels? Is there a coating of some sort that would do this?

Thanx,
Keybored

A light egg wash might do it, if you warm them long enough to cook the
egg.

Hi: I would brush water over the bagels, sprinkle the salt, and heat in a
toaster oven. After the water has evaporated, I think that you will find
the salt to adhere well.

I think Joe's idea will work just fine.

I own a bagel shop, and of coarse I salt mine before proofing, but
whatever makes the salt stick will be great.

Also, you could ask the bakery to par-bake and freeze a tray of plain
bagles for you, so you could then take them home, wet and salt them,
(just dunk them completely in warm water), dab them into the salt and
complete baking them.

Use simple pretzel salt. Many bagel shops would prolly be willing to
sell you a pound or two for very little money.

So you don't boil your bagels I presume?
