Homemade Bagels

Cultural Context

Bagels are a traditional Jewish bread that became popular in the United States, particularly in New York City. They are often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, typically topped with cream cheese, lox, or various spreads. The process of boiling before baking gives bagels their distinctive chewy texture.
