Boiled in maple water. Baked before sunrise.

We hand-roll every bagel, rest the dough overnight, and boil it in water sweetened with Vermont maple syrup. Then they go on the hearth. Crisp outside, chewy inside, the way a bagel should be.

9:00 PM

Mix

Flour from Champlain Valley, a little malt, and salt. That's it.

10:00 PM

Rest

Rolled by hand, then 8 hours cold in the walk-in. Flavor needs time.

4:30 AM

Boil

45 seconds a side in maple water. That gives the crust its shine.

5:00 AM

Bake

On wet burlap boards, then flipped onto the hot stone deck.

Fill a baker's dozen.

OUR STORY

A night-shift baker and a borrowed oven.

Dana Whitcomb learned to roll bagels on the overnight shift at a Montreal bakery. When she moved home to Burlington, she couldn't find one she liked. So she rented a pizza oven after closing time and started selling bagels out of a cooler on North Winooski Ave.

The cooler sold out by 8 a.m. for three summers straight. In 2016 she opened the shop on the same block. The number dispenser by the door came with the building. We kept it.

"If the line goes out the door, we're doing it right. If it goes past the laundromat, I bake another batch." — Dana

Come by early.
