Scattered with sesame seeds and oblong in shape, a Jerusalem bagel looks like a traditional bagel after a game of tug-of-war.
If you’ve spent time contemplating the cases and shelves at Bread Lounge in downtown Los Angeles — or the bread-laden carts outside the gates of Jerusalem’s Old City — you’ll recognize a Jerusalem bagel even if you’re not quite sure what it is.
Ran Zimon remembers getting the snacks in Jerusalem when he was a kid — he grew up outside Tel Aviv — but he didn’t think to put them on the menu at Bread Lounge when it opened in May of 2012. He’d never even made them before, even when he was baking in Israel. It took an early visitor to the bakery who got to talking to Zimon about the Turkish breada popular street food that’s very similar to the Israeli version, for Zimon to remember the bagels of his childhood.
