Are you a real baker if you've never made a bagel? This week on The Canadian Food Podcast, we look into the real-life unicorn that is the Montreal-Style Bagel. After defining how they're different from the (inferior) New-York Style, we dip into quantum physics to explain why timing is crucial to proper bagel consumption. Finally, after explaining how to make them yourself, we demystify the all-too vilified woodfired oven.

If you're obsessed with J. Kenji Alt-López, this is the episode for you.
