[header] How to store bagels [title] Put aside bagels you don't plan to eat in 2-7 days. [step] Once you've returned from the store or pulled your homemade bagels out of your oven, separate them into 2 groups. 1 group should contain the bagels you know you can finish within the next several days. 
Put bagels you want to keep for any amount of time longer than that in the other group. This second group is going in the freezer.
