At first glance, a bagel may look like any other bread shaped into a ring. But scientifically and historically, it’s something entirely its own.
In this self-paced learning guide, you’ll make traditional boiled-and-baked bagels while learning what creates their dense crumb, structured chew, and deep flavor. You’ll explore strength versus extensibility, controlled fermentation, and why boiling sets bagels apart from other breads.
You’ll also uncover the story of the bagel’s origins in Ashkenazi Jewish communities and how process, practicality, and identity shaped its evolution.
Designed for curious bakers who want more than just instructions, this guide connects technique, science, and story.
