So hard to find garlic bagels

Forget cream cheese. I got some Thomas' bagels with everything. Using as little cream cheese as possible from my stash, I am now shaking garlic powder on the applied cream cheese.

Please let the cream-cheese supply chain loosen up

Great solution to use garlic powder!



If all else fails, nuke to melt butter on them & use powder. 👍

Even walmart is way more expensive. Only other option is kroger's literally rotten meat & curdled milk.

Not sure but maybe Aldi has different supplier for cream cheese.

And my local discount grocery has an Amish brand that is quite good.

However, if it must be Philadelphia, I’m afraid you’re out of luck!

Just get some dried garlic , moisten the plain bagel with a bit of oil, and stick the garlic chips on.

Bread flour, and even if the recipe doesn't call for it, add a quarter teaspoon of baking soda to the water you boil the bagels in. I hope you have a really good mixer, something along the lines of a KitchenAid or better (an Ankarsrum would be ideal, but who can afford a $700 table appliance?)

Admittedly, I always make plain, because I like plain. Toasted. Along with cream cheese, lox, and a thin slice of onion. If you were to throw on some capers, I won't stop you.
