Why do Jews love bagels?
Why do Jews love bagels? In part, the bagel became largely associated with Jewish culture because boiling bread before toasting it served as a loophole to get around the laws that banned Jews in Poland from baking bread.
Why is there a hole in the bagel?
The hole in the middle of the bagel allows it to have a larger surface area, making it easier to consistently cook the bagel all the way through. This is important because bagel dough can be incredibly thick, which would make it difficult to know if the center was cooked completely if the hole was not there.
What makes a bagel kosher?
Additionally, bagels are categorized as bread as far as kosher dietary law is concerned. Therefore, they cannot be certified kosher if they contain any dairy ingredients, as this would constitute dairy bread. There are many popular flavored bagels that are dairy and as such, cannot be certified kosher.
