bialys
Chewy breakfast rounds
Bialys are chewy rolls similar to bagels but flatter, with a depression in the center rather than a hole.
The indentation typically holds onion and poppy seeds.
Unlike bagels, bialys are baked without boiling.
Named for Białystok, the Polish city where they originated: I'll take two bialys with cream cheese.
