If you enjoy a savory breakfast option, particularly in a bagel, then this rosemary sea salt version is for you.
Growing up, I took art classes on Saturdays and next door was a bagel bakery. I don’t know how often my dad took me there but all I remember was being obsessed with their bagels topped with coarse sea salt.
Pretty sure I ordered that just buttered or slathered with cream cheese every time. I was a picky eater and creature of habit.
Now, I may not have turned into the most skilled artist, but thankfully my insanely picky-eater childhood self did grow out of that phase, even if it took until college.
Fast forward to the present and there’s a bagel place in town called The Lox Bagel Shop and even though I have only been there once, I immediately fell in love with their sea salt and herb bagel, which I had sandwiched around a pastrami and egg sandwich.
Clearly I like salted bagels.
Naturally I had to make some for myself. Of course since I also have to keep my sourdough starter alive and well it seemed natural to also make it a sourdough bagel. And thus the idea for these bagels were born.
From what I could tell from their bagels, the herb used was rosemary, hence the name I gave my bagels, but you could really use whichever herbs you have on hand, fresh or dried. Just be sure to use less if dried because it is condensed.
No matter which herb you choose, these babies are worthy of being turned into a candle. They smell amazing while they bake!
And again when you toast them.
And tasty with either plain cream cheese or as a breakfast sandwich! Tested and approved by both child and adult me ;-).
