Not Your Average Bagel
Bread and bagel fans, if you think you don’t need another bagel in your life, well, you’ve never tried a Montreal bagel. Comparing a Montreal bagel with other superstars like New York bagels is impossible because they are so different (and both quite delicious!) Nonetheless, here are a few ways Montreal bagels are not your average bagel.
More Dense, More Versatile
We’ve got a win-win here! Montreal bagels are higher in density, yet less filling than a traditional bagel. This makes them more versatile, allowing you to eat them in many different ways!
Sweeter! (But not like a pastry.)
Montreal bagels are boiled in honey water and made without salt, making them slightly sweeter than a traditional bagel. But don’t worry. They’re nowhere near a donut!
Wood-Fired
Baking in a wood-fired oven is a big part of what gives Montreal bagels their signature taste. The bagels have an addictive consistency of crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside.
