I don't understand bagels actually. Why put a whole in a sandwich?? It's just worse ergonomics than a regular sandwich! I'm sure it's some capitalist shenanigans to trick people into thinking it's cool and containing more food than it actually does
Bagels are boiled before they're baked, which gives them a chewier texture that toasts really well. It's an entirely different thing to just regular toast or bread.
Montreal is a hell of a place. One of my favorite events was drinking in a park and this older lady comes up to us and says 'Ahllo, ave you seen my son? Eeh eez dis tall. Eeh ahs mo-awk. And eeh ees on PCP. Non? Ah, merci! Anarchie!'
A hole going thru the part that would be the furtherst away from the heat makes the whole thing to cook faster, allowing more production with the same capital and labor and shit, so, yeah
But it would made sense from a comunist planning perspective too, cuz it's more energy and labor efficient
Making it way more efficient. Its funny how when you look into things you find human ingenuity and not just "eh capitalists probably did it for no reason".
Well you know how when you take a bite, cream cheese comes out of the sides and ruins the sandwich? The hole is there so it can escape in even more directions.

It's a thicc bit of dough and the hole is for surface area when baking. Otherwise you'd either get a raw center or burned edges. Also they're not just bread rings, bagels are a different process which involves boiling the dough prior to baking and other stuff depending on the region (Montreal bagels>NY bagels btw). They're not really intended as sandwich material and that's a more recent use for bagels, that being said I fuckinf love a bagel sandwich.
It makes it cook more evenly and also I think medieval bakes used to transport bread on wooden racks so bread with holes were more of a thing back then cuz you could easily stick them on the pegs. Pretzels and donuts also have holes in them. But I'm not a historian so maybe I'm talking out my ass
Edit: Some guy on has a more comprehensive explanation.
I had heard they were made to put them on poles so the kids who all ran around the streets selling them could carry more. I figure a pole of bagels sticking up above the crowd would also kinda self-advertise. Might be bullshit though.
This is called "Sękacz" in Polish and there are few different kinds, from a mild ambrosia that will turn your mouth into small piece of heaven to a literal dwarven battle bread that will break teeth and skulls.

Yes
cream cheese
Ring shaped bread predates capitalism by at least 300 years. It’s just more efficient to make in certain cases.

More quickly and more evenly: you don’t end up with an overcooked outside and undercooked center.

Your officer I will not apologize for how I feel about the sexy bread
A bagel is not a sandwich and you suck at topology.
it's so bagel salesmen can string them around their necks before walking to the marketplace

Bagels are boiled, so I assume it has something to do with that

More shapes more fun

it's just hard donut that allows you to put a spread on it
It's fun! You good make the exact same thing as batons but why have a bread baton when you can have a CIRCLE?
I mean, why not put a hole in it?
Why not just spit roast an entire giant cake?

Ok, but why the hole?
Well if you try to eat the latter variant
