BAGEL, BAGEL, BAGEL. This bagel brings me so many memories from my childhood. Even now, every time I visit Jerusalem it is a must to get a bunch of these bagels. Somehow they remain fresh all day long and are sold for a ridiculous price of less than a dollar each. Always served wrapped in a newspaper and with a little bag of Za'atar. A couple of years ago I went with my dad on a late-night bakery tour in Jerusalem. They showed us their daily preparations which allow them to bake thousands of bagels that will be sold around the city. I hope that next year I will be able to take some of you with me on a late-night bakeries tour.
