Dan’s Bagels

Bageltopia co-founder Dan Graf creates his authentic bagels by allowing his signature dough a four-day cold proof-and-ferment time before boiling and baking. This technique promotes greater flavor development, and bagels with a crisp, glossy exterior and chewy interior.


The New York Times calls them, “Bagels as good as Brooklyn’s”
