Poll of the Day > Bagels seem to make the best long term garlic bread.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ok, Sarah Lee bagels seem to be magical. You can buy a bag of em, forget you bought em for 2 months, and they still seem fresh, non-stale and tasty when you toast em.

It doesn't make sense...at all.

But whatever, tested multiple times and it's freaking true. Obviously I usually eat them within a few weeks but, I'm diabetic so I don't eat bread much, so sometimes it's months before I do.

Anyway, I have been jonesing for some garlic bread recently. I decided to use my air fryer to make a garlic bread bagel, using crushed garlic and butter. I tossed the bagel in the air fryer for 3 minutes to get it warmed up, spread the butter and garlic on top, and tossed it back in for 3 minutes to finish it off.

Freaking delicious. The bread is still soft on the inside, but crunchy on the outside. The garlic/butter spread is toasted slightly (but not burnt) and it took almost no time, no clean up (I even used a plastic knife for the butter) and it's cheap as hell.

Buting a pre-made garlic bread at the store is like $5 (though safeway brands are like $3), but if you make it, it's waaaay to much for 1 person (especially a diabetic) and it gets stale like in a day or two). You can't split it up to cook easily either.

But a bag of sarah lee bagels is usually on sale for $2 or so, with 6 bagels, each of which cut in two are just about the perfect amount of garlic bread. $2/6 is 34 cents per garlic bread.

So it's cheap, lasts longer, easy to make and clean up....bagels rock for garlic bread.

Western Bagel is even cheaper. But they require refrigeration.
