==Definition==
A bagel is always round, with a hole in the middle. The dough is risen, then boiled, then baked, giving its unique texture. In New York, bagel stores were originally strictly unionized, and a bagel was very specifically defined as to weight and content. Since that time, the definition of bagel as liberalized significantly.
