The Heartbeat of a Bagel: Hand-Rolled Dough

Every perfect bagel starts as humble dough. Here at Myrtle Ave., our bakers don’t just dump flour and water together – oh no, this is a craft! They mix, knead, and fold with care, letting each batch rest just long enough to develop that soft, chewy interior. It’s all about patience – something I, as a pigeon, respect deeply.

Once the dough is ready, it’s time for the signature hand-rolling. Each bagel is shaped with precision, creating that iconic round form with a hole in the center. It’s not just tradition; it’s the secret to that perfect balance of chew and crust. I like to think of it as the dough taking a little flight of its own before hitting the boiling water.

Boiling: The Golden Bath

Next comes the bath. Bagels are boiled, not baked, right away. This step sets the crust and gives the bagel its glossy finish. Some might call it water magic – I call it wing-fluttering worthy. A good boil ensures that first bite has that irresistible chewiness that makes you savor every crumb.

Baking to Perfection

After their bath, the bagels are baked to a golden brown. That aroma, oh, it drifts down Myrtle Avenue like a siren song for hungry humans… and me. The crust crisps just enough to provide a satisfying snap, while the inside remains tender and chewy. It’s a delicate dance of heat, time, and skill.

Toppings, Tradition, and Local Love

Everything at Myrtle Ave. Bagels honors tradition, but that doesn’t mean we shy away from creativity. From sesame to everything bagels, poppy seeds to cinnamon raisin, each one is sprinkled with care. And the best part? You can taste the neighborhood in every bite – the local flour, the care in each roll, the community spirit baked right in.
