Breakfast Foods
Bagel is a ring-shaped leavened bread with a hole in the center, boiled in water before baking. The boiling step gives it a glossy, chewy crust and a dense interior. It is coated with sesame or poppy seeds and eaten for breakfast.
Where It's Used
“Before baking the bagel, boil it briefly in simmering water to coat the surface.”
