Bagel

Bagel is a donut shaped bread product made with flour, yeast, water and oil. Other ingredients like onion, sugar or various types of fruit can be added to the dough. The dough is first cooked in boiling water, drained, often brushed with egg and finally baked. Bagels have a chewy interior with a sometimes crisp and shiny exterior. They are mostly eaten with breakfast, as a replacement for bread, alone, filled with cream cheese or to make sandwiches.

Tips about Bagel

Storing bagels Bagels taste best when eaten fresh. For long time storage, wrap then in a paper bag, put them in a plastic bag and freeze them. They will keep for up to 6 months. To use them, remove from the freezer, lightly moisten them with cold water, slice them in half and bake or toast them. Do not use a microwave oven since the result will not be the same.
