You knew I could get chocolate into salmon bagels right? Well, into the bagel part at least. It is just for colour though I find the depth of flavour is always increased with chocolate which of course is actually cacao, Brew Choc to be precise! Serve these with anything you fancy. Particularly good as shown, and is traditional. But equally great with cream cheese and Cherry Jam though I would leave the garlic and onion flakes off if you are going that route.

Form the bagels either by making a snake and joining or by forming a ball and pushing a hole into the centre. I like the snake method personally. You get more hole! Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Drop each bagel into the boiling water and turn over, for literally just 20 seconds per bagel. Place onto the trays. Brush with egg white, and then sprinkle with the toppings of your choosing.

Bake 15 minutes until fragrant and glossy. Cool slightly before cutting and serving with whatever takes your fancy.
