Shop products for Bagels 
Bagels come in dozens of varieties and are a popular breakfast-on-the-run.
These doughnut-shaped yeast rolls have a dense, chewy texture and shiny crust. Bagels are boiled in water before they’re baked, which reduces the starch content and creates a chewy crust. The traditional water bagel is made without eggs and, because it doesn’t contain fat, is chewier than an egg bagel.
Varieties
Bagels come in dozens of varieties, from sweet to savory, and may contain dried fruit, nuts, seeds (usually poppy or sesame), herbs, spices, or sweeteners. They’re available in whole-wheat, white, and multi-grain varieties.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Toast bagels, spread with low-fat cream cheese, and top with thinly sliced red onion and cucumber.
