3. Sourdough matcha bagels
This one is definitely for the bagel-obsessed! It was only a matter of time before matcha made its appearance in the sourdough world – and we could not have imagined a tastier way! The naturally sweet, nutty and clean flavour of matcha adds another layer of depth to your bagel. You can pair it with toppings like cream cheese and creamy avocado. Are you a sweet tooth? Opt for toppings like honey or jam. These bagels are chewy, soft and rich with matcha flavour in every bite.
