A dense, round bread roll with a hole in the center, made from dough that is boiled then baked, typically sliced horizontally and served with spreads like cream cheese or lox.
Where the word comes from
From Yiddish beygl, derived from Middle High German *beugel*, meaning "ring" or "bracelet." The word likely comes from the shape of the bread roll, which resembles a circular band. It entered English in the early 20th century as Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe brought the bread and its name to America.
