A type of bagel topped with a variety of seasonings
Everything bagel[edit | edit source]
An everything bagel is a type of bagel that is topped with a mixture of various seasonings. This combination typically includes sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic, onion, and salt. The everything bagel is a popular choice for those who enjoy a variety of flavors in one bite.
History[edit | edit source]
The origin of the everything bagel is somewhat disputed, with several individuals claiming to have invented it in the 1970s or 1980s. The concept of combining multiple toppings on a single bagel likely arose from the practice of using leftover toppings from other bagels, creating a "catch-all" or "everything" bagel.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
The traditional toppings for an everything bagel include:
- Sesame seeds
- Poppy seeds
- Dried garlic
- Dried onion
- Salt
Some variations may also include other seeds or spices, such as caraway seeds or black pepper.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Everything bagels are prepared in the same manner as regular bagels, with the addition of the mixed toppings before baking. The dough is boiled briefly before being baked, which gives bagels their characteristic chewy texture. The toppings are applied after boiling and before baking, allowing them to adhere to the surface of the bagel.
Culinary uses[edit | edit source]
Everything bagels are versatile and can be enjoyed in various ways. They are often served toasted with cream cheese, butter, or lox. They can also be used to make sandwiches, providing a flavorful base for a variety of fillings.
Cultural significance[edit | edit source]
The everything bagel has become a staple in American cuisine, particularly in areas with large Jewish communities, where bagels are a traditional food. It is celebrated for its bold flavor and has inspired other "everything" flavored products, such as everything bagel seasoning blends and snacks.
