Etymology

The word 'bagel' has its origins in the Yiddish word 'bajgl', which is derived from the German 'beugel', meaning 'ring' or 'bracelet'. The first known reference to a bagel dates back to the 17th century in Poland, where they were formed as a tribute to the kings and were considered a special treat. The Jewish communities of Eastern Europe adopted and popularized bagels, making them a staple in Jewish cuisine. With the mass migration of Jews to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, bagels gained popularity among a wider audience. The bagel's unique boiling and baking process distinguishes it from other types of bread, contributing to its chewy texture. Today, bagels are enjoyed globally and come in a wide range of flavors and styles.
