National Bagels and Lox Day
February 9, 2024
National Bagel and Lox Day recognizes one of America’s favorite bagel combinations on February 9th. Bagels are one of the few breads that are boiled then baked. This creates a soft inside while keeping a crisp outside.
The book described a bread that was boiled then baked just as bagels are made today. Today, we know that bagels are linked to the Jewish community from Poland in the 17th century and lox emerging from Scandinavian fishermen who preserved salmon in saltwater brine.
