TJ's Plain Bagels are really good bagels, made for TJ's using quality ingredients and without the use of artificial preservatives or dough conditioners. The secret to their bagel excellency is their baking process. First, the dough is proofed in high humidity and then set out to slowly ferment, which brings out all of the dough’s delicious, subtle flavours. Next, the bagels are kettle-boiled—fully submerged in boiling water to lock in that chewy center and create that perfect “skin.” Finally, they’re off to the hearth tunnel oven to be baked until they’ve acquired that perfect, golden-brown bagel crust.

Toast your Bagel, slather it with Cream Cheese, and top it with Smoked Salmon. Make a pizza bagel by spreading it with sauce or marinara, and sprinkling it with some shredded mozzarella cheese, then bake in the oven at 175°C for about 10 minutes.

Your Bagel is a blank canvas; let your carbohydrate-saturated imagination run wild.
