Do many people make their own bagels?

[IndyRob]

I know many people here may make their own bagels, but I've never really thought it was common among the general populace.  Still, my ALDI has 'Everything Bagel Seasoning' despite having a limited selection of other herbs and spices.  This suggests that it's a pretty good seller and hence, that there are more bagel makers out there than I would have imagined.

So people are doing all these things?  If so, that's a more interesting trend than bagels.

I think it is a flavor of the month thing like dukkah was  for a while. Or za'atar mixes

I belong to an Aldi group on FB and I've never seen anyone mention making bagels.  They use the stuff for all kinds of things - as a seasoning.  I don't make my own bagels (yet 😁), but I use it to amp up commercial Everything bagels.  I also make appetizers with cream cheese rolled up in puff pastry (or even Crescent roll dough) and use the mix in the cream cheese and on top of the dough.

I used to make both bagels and pretzels - but even small batch size is far too much for just two people, and after freezing - fresh store bought are better....
