Koulourades ... kneaded with sesame , flour, oil, salt, sugar, yeast and ... love for our product! The bagel of Thessaloniki was made for the first time by refugees that arrived in Thessaloníki. The history begins in the Byzantine Empire and appears mainly in Constantinople and Thessaloniki. Starting midnight the bakers prepared in a wooden oven bread and bagels. Before dawn, the bagels were ready and the smell of roasted sesame was a temptation for those passing by. Consumer demand for different flavors brings the bagel today in different variations: stuffed with raisins, chocolate, cheese, whole grain etc., But nothing will ever taste like the simple natural bagel with sesame.
