Most people will have heard of the longstanding bagel shop, Brick Lane Bagels<\/a>, which has been serving its iconic bagels to the city of London for years. Every day there\u2019s a queue out of the door, yet in reality, what they\u2019re doing is pretty simple: fresh bagels and a few classic toppings. So, it\u2019s no wonder people all over the world have jumped on this trend, opening up their own bagel shops all over the world. And let\u2019s not forget social media, which takes bagels to a whole new level, getting creative with different flavours and cuisines, and even ways to cook and serve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How did the bagel get its name? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you know where the word bagel comes from? Its ancestral roots lay in 17th century Poland as a result of the prominent Jewish population – the word bagel actually stems from the Yiddish word “beygal”, meaning ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Classic and Artisanal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

That slightly chewy, doughy bread will always be synonymous with a bagel, but there\u2019s also an artisanal style now, too. Bakers are using different flour and grains, special yeasts – like sourdough – and proving techniques, to bring a slightly different twist to the humble bagel, while sticking to the hand-making tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pureist look away. It was only a matter of time before someone decided to experiment with the traditional bagel. And it was no other than cream cheese brand Philadelphia, that shook up the category, partnering with bagel spots across the US to create HOLE-LESS bagels! It was a huge marketing campaign and certainly got people talking\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supersized Bagels <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Most foods don\u2019t escape getting \u2018supersized\u2019, especially when it comes to Millenials and Gen Zs. These bagels may be excessive, but they do make a good party sandwich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini Bagels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to the giant bagels, mini bagels are also trending. These are often served with a dipping sauce or filled with cream cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get Chopped<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Chopped\u2019 salads and meals have gone viral on social media. And now, the \u2018chopped\u2019 trend has found the bagel. Basically, put all the bagel fillings in a pile, chop, and then place between your two bagel halfs – a great way to distribute flavours evenly, and we\u2019re here for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open Bagel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just like an open sandwich, bagels are being served sliced in half with toppings layers on top, rather than between two halves, while others have recreated the \u2018butter board\u2019, and used cream cheese instead and a bagel to dip. Some cafes have even turned bagels nacho style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be familiar with the \u2018Cruffin\u2019 and the \u2018Cronut\u2019… well, this is sort of like that. Introducing, the \u2018Cragel\u2019 (croissant\/bagel), \u2018Baegel\u2019 (bao bun\/bagel), and even Cr\u00e9me Br\u00fblee topped bagels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super-loaded <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why use a burger bun when you can use a bagel? This trend is very popular, and takes the humble bagel to a whole new level. Think maple bacon cheeseburgers, meatball subs, pulled pork, and buffalo chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another hybrid: the pizza and bagel combo. A great idea for schools and cafes, slice the bagel, top with tomato pur\u00e9e, cheese and pepperoni if you fancy, grill (or air fry) and serve. This is a great, easy lunch for schools or even cafes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gourmet Goods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s pastrami and then there\u2019s wagyu pastrami; there\u2019s salmon and then there\u2019s beetroot cured salmon. Bagels are simple to turn gourmet. It\u2019s all about tasty, high-end ingredients, which can elevate your pub lunch offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delicious Dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A bit like our artisan bagels, bakeries are playing with the flavour of the dough, adding cheese, oats, onions, and thyme, to create delicious savoury snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s better than avocado on toast? Avocado in a bagel! Classic breakfast combos have been a hit with customers, with everyone\u2019s favourite fillings like avo, cheese and chorizo; spinach folded eggs; and fried eggs and bacon, finding their way into the breakfast bagel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtuous Veggies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fish, chicken, pork, beef, it\u2019s easy to add any \u2018sandwich\u2019 filling into a bagel. But there\u2019s a knack to making veggies taste good between two pieces of bread. Think confit mushroom, smoked carrot lox, squash and caramelised onion cream cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the flavours you\u2019d expect: yuzu, katsu, sushi, soy. These popular flavours are now available in bagel form. Pretty much any meal, chefs have managed to sandwich into a bagel – and they look delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Joining deep-fill sandwiches and toasties, Indian-inspired bagels are another firm fixture in the realm of carb comfort. From classic curries to salads and seasonings, there’s plenty of scope for regional and fusion experimentation across meat, dairy, and veg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian food is some of the most simple yet some of the best. It\u2019s all about fresh ingredients, golden olive oil, and fresh bread. All you need to do is swap focaccia for a bagel and you\u2019ve got a sell-out bagel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like a sandwich, a bagel is incredibly versatile – and they\u2019re really coming back into fashion at the moment. Why don\u2019t you try swapping your usual sandwich bread for a bagel and see what customers think? You could even go \u2018artisan\u2019 and choose ones with seeds on for a slightly fancy twist. Bagels couldn\u2019t be easier to make, and are a great way to use up leftover cuts of meat and veggies, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
