The bagel is a bread product that is traditional to Eastern Europe and has become popular around the world. Bagels are about the size of your hand, and they are round with a hole in the middle. They are often eaten with cream cheese or as a sandwich. The first mention of bagels in writing dates back to the 1600s. While bagels today are bigger than the ones in the past, they are still made in the same way.
