Our Process
The creation of each bagel at Lenore's Bagels is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Our process begins with hand-rolling the dough, carefully shaped to achieve the perfect texture. The bagels are then fermented overnight, allowing the flavors to develop and deepen.
The next step is a traditional boiling process, followed by baking to achieve a beautifully golden crust and a delightfully chewy interior. Throughout the process, we use key ingredients such as stone-milled wheat, water, malt, yeast, and sea salt. Each ingredient plays a vital role in the final product—a bagel that reflects our passion and expertise.
