What is a fancy way to say “bagel”?
A fancy or alternative way to say bagel is “beigel,” which is an older spelling of the same word. Related bread terms like “bialy” or “roll” sometimes get used, but a true bagel is boiled then baked. Calling it a “hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bread ring” also adds an upscale feel.
