BAGEL

A bagel is a round, dense bread with a hole in the center, typically boiled before being baked to give it a chewy, slightly crispy exterior. It has a slightly sweet flavor and is commonly made from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. Bagels are often enjoyed toasted, with toppings like cream cheese, butter, or lox, and come in various flavors such as plain, sesame, poppy seed, and everything. They are a popular breakfast item, known for their unique texture and versatility.
