👩🏻🦱三三媽有天問說，
貝果中間一定要留個洞嗎？
不用整形整顆去烤不是比較省時？
我想這是個好問題..！

為什麼貝果中間要留有「圓洞」？
當生麵糰較厚時，如果中間沒有保有圓洞，其實不易確認麵體中心是否熟透。
貝果中間有個圓洞，主要目的是增加受熱的表面積，以增加麵糰與水的接觸面積。如此一來，留有圓洞的貝果自然熟的更快，而且也可以增加我們喜愛的堅韌外皮麵積，一舉兩得呢🥰

My mom 👩🏻🦱said:
Why the bagels have a hole in the middle? It might be faster if you don’t have to shape it and just put it in an oven.
This is a good question.

Why the bagels have a hole in the middle?
From The Bagel Bakery, the bagel dough can be incredibly thick, it is difficult to know whether the center was cooked completely if the hole was not there.
The real reason is the hole in the middle makes it have larger surface area to be cooked all the way through. Therefore,
it will be easier to cook completely. It also allows even more chewy crust area that we are all addicted to 🥰
