 What Exactly Is a Bagel? 

From a purist and traditional standpoint, a bagel is a round yeast roll with a hole in the middle. The shape is important — the name translates to "bracelet" in German. There's no egg in the dough, and malt is used in place of sugar.

 

A bagel is made by first cooking it in water — very hot boiling water — for one or two minutes to lock in its flavor. Then it's browned in the oven to create that hard, delectable crust. This process produces a dense, chewy roll with a crisp exterior, no doubt giving rise to the name "cement doughnut." But boiling is mostly an American tradition. Bagels made in the Middle East sometimes skip this step. 

 

Some old-time bagel makers insist that the product should be allowed to sit for up to 24 hours before consumption to capture the full spectrum of its taste and flavors. This can be a tricky process because bagels are at first delightfully spongy, but they can quickly turn tough and jaw-breaking chewy when they're exposed to air. 

 

Of course, bagels have evolved over the years to include not only egg to make the roll a bit lighter, but also spices, herbs, and fruit to give added flavor.

 

It's origin is from the Jewish Community in Poland. 

 

 

I turn it on its side, slice down in half and drown it in Cream Cheese.
