It looks like a kolache, but has a texture of a bagel and English muffin. What is it? A bialy!
According to Merriam-Webster, it is defined as “a flat breakfast roll that has a depressed center and is usually covered with onion flakes.” It may also include poppy seeds. The bialy comes from Polish city of Bialystok and are popular in New York City.
While bagels are boiled in hot water prior to baking, bialys are just baked. Bagels have a hole through the center and bialys have a large depression to hold the savory filling.
Give them a try!
