Although bagel was spread from America, quite precisely New York, its origin is not American. This middle perforated pastry was first baked in Vienna in the 17th century. It was recommended to the King of Poland by a baker because the king protected his family and country from Turkish attacks.
The bagel recipe after this has been spread in Poland, and then was taken and made popular to America by the emigrant Jewish communities.
Although the dough is crumbly and a little sweet, usually it’s not consumed on its own, it is mainly used as a sandwich base.
Usually the bagel is sprinkled with flaxseed, sesame seeds, poppy seeds or oatmeal, and when is done is added cream cheese, salmon, scrambled eggs, bacon or just plain ham.
Interestingly, the slightly sweet bagel is eaten much less often with jam and other sweet fillings.
