Bagels!

For my fourth bread I am going to make bagels. Breads like bagels, with holes in them, have been around for centuries and even date bake to Ancient Egypt. Their ingenious design made them easily transportable. By stringing a thread of stick through them, they became an instantly transportable food source. The bagels we know today, which are boiled and baked, originated in Poland. In the early 1900s bagels started showing up in the Lower East side of Manhattan where Jewish communities created a demand for the breads of their homeland. After World War II bagels became popular throughout America and American supermarket's began selling Murray Lender's frozen bagels. Today bagels are sold everywhere and have been adopted by the world.
