Bagels | August 31st | 6-8pm

Originally created by Jewish communities in Poland in the 1500’s, the bagel has been a favorite forever! Soft, chewy, shiny golden-brown, but not “crispy”, this yeast bread follows a totally different process from most, including a step where the dough is boiled before baking!  This step produces that shiny, soft and golden brown crust. Come learn to make bagels with us, and we’ll each take home half-a-dozen to share with friends (or totally not share at all)!
