Bagels?


U wanna be a New Yorker. U won´t unless you taste a Bagel. A what?

A bagel is a bread product, traditionally made of yeasted wheat dough in the form of a roughly hand-sized ring which is first boiled in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked onto the outer crust, with the traditional being poppy or sesame seeds. Some have salt sprinkled on the surface of the bagel.


Bagels are sacred to New Yorkers, our most hallowed morning ritual. What started out as a Jewish specialty is now all-American, and, naturally, everyone has an opinion about who does it best. Old-school aficionados swear by dense, fist-size rings, while challengers rave about the puffy, supersize variety. But there's one thing everyone seems to agree on: they're most irresistible fresh from the oven. A well-crafted bagel gives a lot of bang for your buck, and sometimes costs even less. The most famous and ubiquitous emporium is H&H Bagels, whose shop ships all over the world. Then there's the hotly debated Ess-a-Bagel—are its doughy disks wondrous or too elephantine?
Delicious guys!! Don´t forget to try!!
