Of course you can make your own variations in the ingredients to come up with your own bagel seasoning, but we are here to get you started on the basics.

So let's get to know what you'll need to make a traditional bagel seasoning!

• Poppy Seeds

These slightly nutty and earthy seeds from the poppy plant are the star of your bagel seasoning.

Although they are not as strong in flavors compared to the other ingredients on the list, they will make up for it with their crunchy texture. This makes poppy seeds versatile in function and you can use them in any kind of toppings.

• White sesame seeds

White sesame seeds are the more common variety compared to their counterparts.

Although sesame is most commonly used in Asian cuisine, they also make for a perfect addition to any breads.

Who can forget those fluffy sesame burger buns? So it's no wonder that sesame seeds have found their place in the Bagel seasoning as well!

• Black sesame seeds

You don't see black sesame being used a lot in western cooking, which is such a shame as they are even better in their flavor compared to the mild tasting white sesame seeds.

And this is exactly why we need to put black sesame seeds in the Bagel seasoning. Not only will they take the flavors up by a notch, but they'll also add to the color department of the seasoning

• Dried minced garlic

If you are unfamiliar with dried minced garlic, then don't worry because they are pretty easily available in the grocery store.

If dried onion flakes are not available in your nearby grocery store then you can use onion powder as a replacement. But we really suggest you try to get dried onion flakes as not only will you get the taste of onions that way but you'll also add to the crunch of texture of your bagel seasoning.

• Salt

If you want the best results out of your bagel seasoning then go for flak-y sea salt.
