bagel

Boiled dough ring

A bagel is a dense, ring-shaped bread roll with a chewy texture, made by boiling the dough before baking.

Originally associated with Jewish cuisine, bagels have become a mainstream breakfast food, typically sliced and topped with cream cheese, lox, or other spreads: I grabbed a bagel on my way to work.
