A sesame seed bagel is a type of bread product that is shaped like a ring and is typically boiled before baking. This process gives the bagel its dense and chewy texture. The outer layer is often coated with sesame seeds, which add a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. Bagels originated in Jewish communities in Eastern Europe and have become popular worldwide. They can be enjoyed plain or with various toppings, such as cream cheese, lox, or vegetables. Sesame seed bagels are a common choice for breakfast or as a snack, appreciated for their unique taste and versatility.
