According to the National Bagel Day website, “two of the most well-known varieties of bagels are the Montreal and New York styles. The Montreal style has malt and sugar and no salt…The New York style has salt and malt and is boiled in water before being baked in a standard oven. The New York bagel is puffier and has a smaller hole than its Montreal counterpart.”
And this weekend we all get to celebrate our favorite doughy breakfast treat, the bagel, on National Bagel Day.

Bagel tip of the day (www.nationalbagelday.com):
Never slice a bagel while you are holding it in your hand. Hold the bagel down on a flat, stable surface such as a counter or cutting board, rather than a plate or a platter – with the open palm of your hand. Carefully slice the bagel horizontally using a serrated knife. If that’s too difficult or awkward consider investing in a bagel slicer.
