Everything bagel

Everything Bagel is a type of bagel that originated in the United States. It is known for its unique topping which includes a variety of different seeds and seasonings, hence the name "Everything".

History

The Everything Bagel was first created in the 1980s. The exact origin is disputed, but it is generally agreed that it was first made in either New York City or Long Island. The idea behind the Everything Bagel was to create a bagel flavor that included all the toppings used in other bagel varieties.

Ingredients

The Everything Bagel is made from a standard bagel dough, which typically includes wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. The distinctive feature of the Everything Bagel is its topping, which includes poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and salt. Some variations may also include caraway seeds or other seasonings.

Preparation

The preparation of an Everything Bagel follows the standard bagel-making process. The dough is first shaped into a ring, then boiled for a short time before being baked. The unique topping is added after the boiling process but before baking. This allows the seeds and seasonings to stick to the bagel and gives it its distinctive flavor and texture.

Popularity

The Everything Bagel has become one of the most popular bagel flavors in the United States. It is widely available in bagel shops, supermarkets, and restaurants across the country. The unique combination of flavors in the topping has also led to the creation of "Everything" flavorings for other foods, such as cream cheese, chips, and more.
