Just in time for Independence Day celebrations, New Yorker Bagels has announced the return of its popular limited edition patriotic bagels, featuring swirls of red, blue, and natural dough that have become a seasonal favorite for holiday breakfasts, backyard barbecues, beach outings, and family gatherings.
While the colorful bagels capture attention each summer, the company says the same traditional baking methods and clean ingredient philosophy used throughout its product line remain the real story.
More than 30 years ago, New Yorker Bagels voluntarily eliminated bromated flour from its recipes. The bakery has produced its bagels without bromates since 1994, decades before renewed public attention and proposed legislation surrounding the ingredient.
Today, every New Yorker Bagel is made without bromates or bromated flour, contains no preservatives, is made with all natural ingredients, is vegan, and is Star-K Kosher certified. The company has also eliminated high fructose corn syrup and recently removed seed oils from its products as part of its ongoing commitment to traditional baking practices.
Unlike many commercially produced bagels, authentic New York bagels are first boiled before baking, creating the glossy exterior and chewy interior that have made the style famous around the world. According to New Yorker Bagels, even the distinctive center hole serves a purpose by helping ensure consistent shaping, boiling, and baking throughout the process.
The bakery continues to produce a wide assortment of traditional and specialty varieties, including Everything, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, Asiago, French Toast, Whole Wheat, Rainbow, and other favorites.
The returning patriotic bagels are produced using the same traditional methods as the company’s year round lineup, offering consumers a festive option without compromising ingredient standards.
As consumers increasingly pay attention to food ingredients and manufacturing practices, New Yorker Bagels says its approach has remained remarkably consistent: preserving the techniques that helped define the classic New York bagel while continuing to simplify what goes into every batch.
The limited edition patriotic bagels are available for a limited time leading up to the Fourth of July through participating retailers and New Yorker Bagels distribution channels.
