A Little Bagel History
Bagels first got their Start in Poland back in the 14th Century. German Immigrants had brought with them a feast day bread named Pretzel. The Pretzel soon morphed from a twisted shape into a round bread with a hole in the middle. Since then we have been obsessed with this quirky bread and continue to find new and interesting ways to eat it!

HOW TO CUT Bagel Bites
It Couldn’t be easier! Grab a bagel, slice length ways, turn the Bagel 90 degrees and slice down the middle….
Bear in mind, the thinner you cut your pieces, the crispier they will be, as a guide mine were around 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thickness. They also air fry quicker when skinnier- Should you choose to opt for chunkier pieces you will want to extend the cooking time by a minute or 2
