Vintage Video from 1979 Explains How To Make a Brooklyn Bagel by Hand

Hot Bagels is an interesting vintage 1979 video from the Brooklyn Public Library video collection that shows how to make a Brooklyn bagel by hand.

Filmed in Brooklyn, this shows the process of handmade bagels. From creating the dough to the baking and sale, the process is explained along with the extemporaneous commentary on the changing nature of the bagel business, and the shops place in the neighborhood.
