Ka’ak al-Quds/Jerusalem bagels

Jerusalem bagel (in Arabic: كعك القُدس, romanizedka'ak al-Quds; in Hebrew: בייגל ירושלמי, romanizedbeigel yerushalmi) is a type of bread baked in Jerusalem. It has a ring shape but is otherwise unlike a traditional boiled bagel.[1]

Popularly known as "beigaleh," it is based on the ka'ak bread ring sold in markets throughout the Middle East.[2] Typically, this is a yeasted, crusty bread which is shaped into an oblong ring and covered in sesame seeds.[1] The dough has a lighter texture than a traditional bagel.[1] It can be sliced and served with various toppings.[3]
