About Bagel

A bagel is a ring-shaped bread commonly made from wheat dough that is boiled briefly before baking. It is eaten plain or sliced and served with toppings or fillings. Recipes differ, and not every commercially sold ring-shaped bread is made using the traditional boiling step.

Bagels typically have a browned, chewy exterior and a dense, tender interior. They may be plain or topped with seeds, seasonings or other additions, and can be sold fresh, frozen or pre-sliced. Size, flour, enrichment and toppings differ by product, affecting both texture and composition.
