Onion bagels

Onion bagels are a type of ring-shaped bread, characterized by their dense and chewy texture, with a shiny and slightly crispy surface. These bagels stand out for their distinctive flavor, provided by the inclusion of onion in the dough or as a topping, which adds an aromatic and savory touch ideal for complementing various fillings and accompaniments.

Originating from the Jewish tradition of Eastern Europe, bagels became widely popular in the United States and other regions of the world, adapting into varieties that include ingredients such as onion, poppy seeds, or garlic. Onion bagels are especially appreciated in breakfast or brunch recipes, where they are combined with cream cheese, cold cuts, or vegetables.

Regarding their properties, these bagels primarily provide complex carbohydrates, which offer sustained energy. Being enriched with onion, they also contain natural antioxidants, vitamin C, and sulfur compounds that may contribute to cardiovascular health and the immune system.

Depending on the country, onion bagels may be known by synonyms or similar terms such as onion rolls or simply ring-shaped onion bread. However, the term "bagel" remains quite universal in the Hispanic-American culinary sphere.
