All-Purpose seasoning is the ideal mix of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion flakes, garlic powder, and sea salt to top my homemade All-Purpose Bagel.
This seasoning originated from a blend of leftover bagel seasonings that David Gussin swept out of an oven and decided to sprinkle on a bagel. Since then, the all-purpose bagel has become a popular choice. However, this seasoning is not just for bagels. You can add it to fried eggs, sprinkle it on snack mixes, use it as a rub for meat roasts, or even mix it into bread dough before baking.
Seasoning Ingredients
There’s no need to purchase pre-made seasonings from the store. Making your own allows you to control the quantity and have it available whenever you need it. With just five ingredients, you likely already have everything you need to create this versatile seasoning.
Glass vs. Plastic Storage for Seasonings and Spices
Using an airtight glass container will extend the shelf-life of your seasonings and spices more effectively than an airtight plastic container. Glass is less porous, allowing less air to enter, which can help preserve the spices. Additionally, a glass container lid provides a tighter seal. It’s also important to minimize light exposure to your spices, especially if they are not stored in a cabinet.
