Bagel
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A salt beef with mustard bagel

Bagel half spread with cream cheese.
Bagels are a type of bread made with flour. They look like doughnuts, because like doughnuts, bagels are a circle of dough. However, a doughnut is a sweet dough that is deep-fried in oil, and bagels are boiled in water and then baked in an oven.
[edit] Serving
Bagels are often toasted in a toaster and then paired with foods like cream cheese (a soft cheese that tastes a little sweet) and jam, or with butter. Bagels can also be used to make sandwiches, with meat (for example smoked salmon) and egg and cheese. Bagel sandwiches are usually eaten for breakfast or lunch.
