Lenten bagels

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Bagels can be stored for a long time. Both adults and especially children love to snack on them. They can be eaten plain or stuffed with various fillings (meat mince, mushrooms, cheese, vegetables, cottage cheese, berries, or fruits). This baked treat can be made during fasting periods. Serve the bagels right away or after cooling. The baking is ready—serve at the table.
