A bagel is a type of baked good that's often ring-shaped and usually made from yeast dough.

When people talk about eating a bagel, they often mean it as part of their breakfast or snack routine. You can think of a bagel like a sandwich "doughnut" because you put things inside it - cream cheese, butter, avocado, or even eggs are common additions. Some people prefer to toast their bagels before adding spreads or toppings, while others like them soft and straight from the bag. In cities where Jewish communities are big, you might find special shops that sell freshly baked bagels with sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top.
