What To Expect
Step into the heart of New York City's bagel culture with a hands-on baking class at Fairway Market's 74th Street Café.
After a warm welcome and icebreaker, an award-winning baker guides you through the classic rope-and-loop rolling technique—a skill you'll quickly put to use as you roll at least six bagels from scratch.
Next, you'll watch a dough-making demonstration revealing the building blocks of every great bagel. While the dough rests, you'll dive into Part I of the bagel's rich history, from its Polish origins to the rise of the Bagel Bakers' Union in mid-20th-century NYC.
Then it's time to bring the dough to life. You'll learn how boiling and seeding define the New York bagel's iconic texture and taste—and do it yourself with your instructor's guidance. Between dough stages, the story continues into the modern bagel era, from cream cheese culture to the invention of the bagel rolling machine.
Finally, enjoy your freshly baked creations with gourmet spreads, smoked fish, and classic accompaniments. The experience ends with a light-hearted bagel trivia quiz—and you'll head home with at least 6 bagels, the recipe, and the skills to repeat the process at home.
