Savory Herbed Chicken Bagel Sandwich
Happy National Bagel Festival Day!
Whenever I need a good bread recipe, I usually look up to Amel (@amel_mkahli) because her recipes are wonderful. This is her bagel recipe which you can find directly on her instagram (@amel_mkahli), right HERE!
To note: The baking soda added to the bagel water bath adds more fluffiness to the bagel once cooked. It also allows the crust to form easily and give it a little “pretzely” taste.
Enjoy & Bon Appétit!
As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
