JEWISH NON-TRADITIONAL BAGELS

For me, bagels are fashion. They're so cool like sushi. Not exactly but, here in Buenos Aires when someone talk about Bagels, a salmon image comes immediately to the mind. The same happens with sushi. 

I don't have any trouble with veggie food. When I started to cook vegan food I found the creativity´s rainbow. Amazing possibilities. But something disruptive happened with these Bagels.

I mean, just take a look of this jewish baked bread.  Toasted or untoasted, this polish bread is a wonderful culinary experience and behind all of this there is history.

Does Bagels are popular? Nowadays, they are. Especially in cities with a large Jewish population. Like New York, Paris, London or Buenos Aires. Cities where we could find people who produce it without miss traditions.

I like Bagel´s form, you know. It´s like a ring or a bracelet and easy to catch. Just imagine asking for marriage with this ring of bread instead a real gold ring jeje. Must be cheap after all... 

This traditional jewish bread, made with wheat flour (without germ or bran), salt, water, and yeast,  has his own style in each city.

For example, New York bagels includes malt and is boiled in water before baking. The resulting is puffy with a moist crust. Other cities, make it crunchier and sweeter. I like this the most.

Well, in the inside, the ingredients are also important. Here I got a Chicken Milanese covered with pieces of Doritos. Am I crazy for do that? Indeed. Tasty & fatty. Then, we could mix it using our imagination. Cream Cheese, Roquefort, Emmental, Prosciutto, Pesto. OMG. What ever is in our head.

What about Humus? We also added it in one of our options. Why not? It´s a f***ing arabic tasty flavor.

Some lovely and typical bagel ingredient are the sesame white seeds. If I make one of these bagels, I would like to rub a lot of these seeds all over it.

Anyway, I believe that food is cooked with local ingredients. So, that makes each local bagel different and unique mixed with traditions.

Nevertheless non-traditional versions have changed the dough recipe including pumpernickel, rye, sourdough, bran, whole wheat, and multigrain. Not suitable for celiacs, obviously. 

Other bagel curiosity? Bagel is also a Yeshivish (London Jews) term that means "sleeping 12 hours straight" That´s why  I´ll sleep a bagel tonight!
Finally, what do I suggest? Just try one of these combined flavors with fresh ingredients and lovely mixed flavors, all right?
