Bucket of Bread Bagels
Random Facts: Doughnuts are deep fried and sweet while bagels are made from a heavy wheat dough and are baked. However, these two pastries do look the same due to the hole in the middle. The reason why bagels have a hole is to allow it to cook faster since there’s greater surface area for the volume of dough. The word “bagel” is derived from the German word “bougel,” meaning “bracelet,” by way of the Yiddish “beygl”—so while innovative bakers can let their imaginations run wild when it comes to flavors, the shape isn’t negotiable. “Round with a hole” is an integral part of a bagel’s identity. In June 2008, Canadian-born astronaut Gregory Chamitoff blasted off on a voyage to the International Space Station with 18 sesame bagels as part of his personal cargo allowance. The bagels came from his cousin’s bakery in Montreal—which means there’s still a chance for someone to bring the first New York-style bagels into space. Get on it, astronauts! Look out New York, folks are making their own bagels now! Find more recipes with Bucket of Bread!
