Who likes bagels?   I absolutely love bagels.  When I was in high school I had a friend who worked at a bagel shop and he’d often bring home bags of day old bagels and we’d all sit around and eat them.   Those were the days.

Fast forward a number of years and I’m living in a town that does not have a bagel shop.  It doesn’t even have a Panera or some place like that that makes bagels.  Sure we have the local grocery stores but their bagels are ok at best.  It’s not like Wegman’s where the bagels are awesome.  I really miss being able to grab a delicious bagel in the morning.

There's only a few ingredients in these Everything Bagel Rolls

Now, thinking about bagels let’s talk toppings.  Everyone has a favorite bagel topping.   My personal favorite is salt.   I don’t know what it is about a bagel covered in salt but it’s amazing.   Jalapeno cheddar comes in at a close second and everything bagels are probably my third favorite.

Put the rolls in a pie pan to rise.

So a few weeks back I saw one of my friends post a recipe for Everything Bagel Rolls.  I like making bagels but sometimes they are a bit of a pain and everyone knows the best part of an everything bagel is the topping.  I find rolls to be a lot easier to make then bagels so I was anxious to try this recipe.

Everything Bagel Rolls are fluffy rolls topped with a delicious combination of everything

I started making it early on a Saturday morning and these rolls were ready by lunch.   The tops were slightly brown and the rolls were soft.  The topping was awesome!   I spread a little butter on mine while it was hot which was a delicious way to enjoy it.  I think next time I might spread cream cheese on the roll as if it were a bagel.  Anyway you make them, these rolls are packed with flavor from the topping and are great as a stand alone or with dinner.
