What's the difference you say? Well, the Montreal style contains malt and sugar but no salt and is boiled in honey-sweetened water and then baked in a wood-fired oven. The New York style, on the other hand, has salt and malt and is boiled in water then baked in a standard oven.
“The New York bagel is puffier and has a smaller hole than its Montreal counterpart. Montreal bagels are sweeter and less dense. They’re also crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.”
Did you know?... Canadian-born astronaut Gregory Chamitoff took a batch of 18 sesame seed bagels into space on his 2008 Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station - a first for bagels up in space!
Happy National Bagel Day!
