The History of Bagels: A Hole Lot of Deliciousness

Have you ever wondered about the history of bagels? It's a tale as rich and satisfying as the bagels themselves! Originating in Eastern Europe centuries ago, bagels were initially created as a portable and long-lasting food for traveling merchants and communities observing lent. The hole in the center wasn't just for show; it allowed them to be strung together for easy carrying and display. These early bagels were denser and chewier than what we're used to today, but the basic recipe of boiling and then baking remained the same. Jewish immigrants brought bagels to North America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where they slowly gained popularity, primarily within Jewish communities. It wasn't until the mid-20th century that bagels exploded into the mainstream, thanks to innovative bakers who streamlined the production process. Now, bagels are a beloved breakfast staple enjoyed by people of all backgrounds. At Oscarlington, we honor this rich history by using traditional methods and high-quality ingredients to create bagels that are both authentic and incredibly delicious. Each bite is a taste of history, a connection to a legacy of baking excellence. We believe that understanding the story behind our food enhances the experience of enjoying it, making every bagel even more meaningful. So, the next time you're enjoying an Oscarlington bagel, take a moment to appreciate the centuries of tradition that have gone into making it the perfect breakfast or snack. It’s a hole lot of deliciousness, indeed!

Bagel Tip of the Week: How to Properly Store Your Bagels

Want to keep your Oscarlington bagels fresh and delicious for as long as possible? Here's our top tip for proper bagel storage: The best way to store bagels is in a sealed plastic bag at room temperature. This will help prevent them from drying out and becoming stale. Avoid storing bagels in the refrigerator, as this can actually make them tougher and less flavorful. If you want to store bagels for longer than a few days, you can freeze them. To freeze bagels, slice them in half and wrap them individually in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to eat a frozen bagel, simply thaw it at room temperature or toast it directly from the freezer. Toasting a frozen bagel is a great way to restore its crispy exterior and chewy interior. With proper storage, you can enjoy fresh, delicious Oscarlington bagels any time you want! Now you can enjoy them whenever you want!
