Embark on a delightful exploration of the history of bagels, tracing their origins back to the 13th century Poland, a journey that has shaped the beloved round bread we know and love today. Bagel Biz, nestled in Melville, NY, adds its unique flavor to this timeless tale.
In a historical context, bagels emerged during a time when Jewish bakers faced restrictions on baking bread and turned to boiled bread as a creative solution. The result? The bagel – a distinctive, round creation with a hole in the middle, offering both a unique shape and practicality for transportation and storage.
The historical records of bagels date back to 1610 in Krakow, Poland, while a similar ring-shaped Polish bread, obwarzanek, can be traced to 1394. Ring-shaped breads have left their mark globally, with Italy boasting taralli and ciambelle, and China featuring girde.
