The History of the Begal
What is the tremendous attraction of the Bagels; why do we love them so much? Well these round, doughy delights with a hole in the middle, have a story as rich and varied as their toppings. Bagels originated in Poland, as early as the 17th century. They were a staple of the Jewish diet and were introduced to North America by Eastern European immigrants in the late 19th century. Today, bagels are a beloved breakfast staple worldwide, celebrated for their versatility, texture, and cultural significance.

The Process of Making a Bagel
A perfectly crafted bagel starts with a dough that is boiled before it is baked, a process that gives it a unique chewy texture and a glossy exterior. This dual cooking method sets the bagel apart from other bread products, providing a satisfying bite that is both crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The process of making a bagel is as much a science as it is an art, with the boiling step creating a starch gel on the surface, locking in moisture and flavor.
We Love Bagels
People love bagels for myriad reasons, starting with their versatility. A plain bagel serves as a blank canvas for an array of toppings. Cream cheese and lox is a classic combination, offering a delightful contrast between the smooth, rich spread and the salty, smoky fish. For those with a sweet tooth, bagels can be smeared with butter and jam or transformed into cinnamon sugar treats. The more adventurous might opt for bagels topped with avocado and poached eggs or loaded with deli meats and cheeses for a hearty sandwich. My kid is crazy about the everything bagel with bacon, egg & cheese! If all this has you craving your favorite bagel, be sure to stop by the Original NY Bagel shop tomorrow morning in Huntersville!
