Poppy seed bagels are a classic choice for bagel lovers in Istanbul. These bagels are made with a dough that is generously coated with poppy seeds, adding a nutty flavor and a crunchy texture. The dough is boiled and then baked to achieve a chewy texture and a shiny crust. Poppy seed bagels can be enjoyed plain or with various spreads and toppings, such as cream cheese, smoked salmon, or ham. They are a delicious and satisfying option for breakfast or a quick snack.
