For many Europeans, a day without a bagel is a day wasted! A bread that originated from the Jewish communities of Poland, the Bagel is unique in many aspects.

It has a dense and chewy, and has a golden brown crispy outer surface with a doughy inside. A ring of yeasted dough is shaped by hand, boiled for a short time in water and then baked. This traditional method gives the bagel its unique texture.

Seeds like poppy, sunflower and sesame are often sprinkled on top of the bagel before baking. This adds crunch and flavour to the bread. Salt may also be sprinkled.

The bagels may be had as such, or packed with fillings to make sandwiches.
