A sesame bagel is a type of bread product that is round with a hole in the center. It is made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, which is boiled before baking. This boiling process gives the bagel its dense and chewy texture. The outer layer of a sesame bagel is coated with sesame seeds, adding a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. Sesame seeds are small, flat seeds that are rich in nutrients and often used in various cuisines. Sesame bagels are commonly enjoyed toasted, with cream cheese or other spreads.
